Etc….

Our commitment We are committed to ensuring each student maximises his or her opportunity to gain a higher degree. Students who submit a thesis very rarely ‘fail’ No point continuing to struggle with a PhD if along the way we agree that an MPhil is a more suitable degree for you We must make sure all students complete their work within the set time limits

Your project Must be suitable for higher degree research Peer review Internally by assessment team (usual for MDs) or Externally by grant reviewers

Etc….

Your project Must be suitable for higher degree research Peer review Internally by assessment team (usual for MDs) or Externally by grant reviewers Your supervisor(s) must have appropriate experience Fellowship of the Graduate School

First assessment We recommend the following structure for your report: Table of contents A literature review A clear statement of the aims of your project A summary of the methods developed and results obtained to date A discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of your work to date An outline of your future work In order to stop students from submitting over-long mini-theses, the Graduate School suggests a maximum word limit for this report (excluding references and figures) of 7,500 words (or 3,000 for MPhil)

Assessment report forms
