There is excellent infrastructure of supervision and support for students both off and on campus. The Research Graduate School in the Faculty of Life and Health Sciences overviews, supports and monitors postgraduate research education in the Faculty.
It is responsible for ensuring high quality supervision. One of the key roles of the Research Graduate School is to organise student conferences, usually at three crucial points during the doctoral programme (at three months, at the end of the first year and prior to submission of the thesis).
Regular seminars are also organised by the School of Nursing at which staff and students present their research and discuss methodological and other issues. The emphasis is on promoting a culture which values research.
