If you’re a new student who’s just getting started, there’s a lot of information to take in. That is why alongside\u00a0faculty organised inductions, we also have our very own ICM Induction<\/a> where we explain postgraduate regulations and procedures, focus on the first deadlines (learning agreement<\/a> and project proposal<\/a>) and students can ask questions.<\/p>\n

All\u00a0active students will be asked to log a monthly meeting<\/a> with their supervisor.\u00a0This is part of all students’ annual progression, but it’s of extra importance for all international students as it is one of the requirements for their tier4 visa. Other key milestones will be participating in the research seminars<\/a> and completing an annual progress review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you get near the end of your project, it’s time to start thinking about your thesis submission<\/a> and examination. We’ll try to summarise the key information about the submission process, requirements for early<\/a> or late<\/a> submission, the actual examination procedure<\/a> and possible exam outcomes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested in\u00a0developing<\/a> other skills than\u00a0those\u00a0specifically\u00a0required for your research project, why not get involved in our extra-curricular opportunities<\/a> and take part in workshops<\/a>, teaching<\/a>, or even become a student representative<\/a>? Both PrICM<\/a> and RealICM<\/a> organise a number of\u00a0research and social\u00a0events throughout the academic year which are worth attending.<\/p>\n

Or, if you’re interested in spending time abroad while working on your\u00a0research project and\/or learning new techniques in the lab, then you might want to\u00a0think about\u00a0outside study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even though we’d like things to go smoothly for all students, we’re well aware that sometimes there are special circumstances<\/a> that can affect your work, whether it’s a change of degree<\/a>, change of supervisors<\/a>, change of project<\/a>,\u00a0interruption or extension of studies <\/a>–\u00a0or if there’s no other way\u00a0but\u00a0to withdraw<\/a> completely.\u00a0Whatever\u00a0the problem, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’d also like to mention there are\u00a0university services in place who deal with both student welfare<\/a> and academic welfare<\/a> on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

There are, of course, also\u00a0rules and regulations<\/a> in place, so don’t forget to take a look at the policies & procedures\u00a0or the\u00a0leave policy<\/a>.\u00a0Graduate school details<\/a> can be found here if you need to get in touch with them.<\/p>\n
