Apart from your supervisors, people in your research group and\/or those directly involved in your project, the names and faces of the ICM PGR Team<\/a> are probably the ones you\u2019ll come across most often throughout your years as a PGR student in the ICM.<\/p>\nContact us if you have questions about your studies or if you are facing a problem and don’t know who to get in touch with. Additionally, if you’re going through personal difficulties that might influence your work and which you would like to talk about: we have an open-door policy and can assure you that everything will be kept confidential.<\/p>\n
What we’re not<\/h3>\n
In your postgraduate life, you’ll inevitably come in contact with\u00a0admissions<\/a>\u00a0and the graduate school<\/a>. These two teams are our close colleagues and play very important parts in postgraduate life, so it’s not always obvious from the outside that we are separate; in what we do, and in where we have our offices. Importantly, we don’t necessarily all have access to the same information about our students.<\/p>\n Postgraduate applications are particularly difficult to manage because the research area doesn’t necessarily inform the admissions team which supervisor, institute or even which faculty you want to study in.\u00a0If you intend to study in the\u00a0ICM, we recommend you contact us early and keep in touch. Follow the advice in our summary of the application process<\/a>.<\/p>\n The graduate school<\/a> live in Ridley building, near Queen Victoria Road. They oversee postgraduate studies for the whole of the Faculty of Medicine. The graduate school is the home of the Dean and Associate Dean; they have less day-to-day interaction with students but are responsible for setting policy, and for final sign-off of important milestones for all postgraduate students.<\/p>\n The graduate school have oversight of the whole Faculty and will ensure that the rules of good practice are applied fairly and equitably to all.\u00a0While the graduate school do in most cases follow the recommendations of progress panels and the Institutes, we don’t make important decisions about a student’s studies without the Dean’s team reviewing them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Message from the postgraduate team Apart from your supervisors, people in your research group and\/or those directly involved in your project, the names and faces of the ICM PGR Team are probably the ones you\u2019ll come across most often throughout … Continue reading About admissions<\/h3>\n

The admissions team are based in King’s Gate, close to Haymarket Metro. They are responsible for admissions to all undergraduate and postgraduate degrees across the entire University, and inevitably it is difficult for them to keep track of several thousands of simultaneous applications.<\/p>\nAbout the graduate school<\/h3>\n
