How can we help you?

We help the staff and students in the University's Graduate Schools with those aspects of postgraduate research policy and administration which have a relevance to more than one School, or which require liaison with outside agencies such as the Research Council. This includes:

• Co-ordinating the selection, allocation and administration of centrally-held scholarship funding
• Co-ordinating the allocation and distribution of Doctoral Training Funding from Research Councils
• Advice and guidance on funder regulations, terms and conditions
• Guidance on administrative processes relating to studentships and scholarships (e.g. use of the RCUK Joint Electronic Submission (Je-S) system)
• Sharing, disseminating and supporting the implementation of good practice in postgraduate research studentship administration and policy
• Clerking and support for the Deans of Graduate Studies Committee (DOGS)
