Annual progress review timetable

Here are the timings for annual progress reviews for each of the higher degrees we offer.

The first APR is 8-10 months into the degree, or earlier for a 1-year MPhil.

Intermediate APRs follow at approximately yearly intervals. The expectation of the panel will change depending on the stage through the degree.

The final APR is typically 7 months before the end of the minimum candidature. The minimum candidature is the term shown in the first column of the table.

The review APR takes place after 6 months of the writing-up year if required.
