PGR provision: the students perspective.
Committee structure
Departmental Student representatives
Medical School post graduate Students committee (MSPGSC)
Student Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC)
School Graduate Research Committee (SGRC)
Role of the student committees:
Provide a student voice to raise any concerns or issues related to PGR
teaching and provision
Provide another route alongside personal and year tutors for pastoral
support
Help collect data on the availability of basic student facilities, such as desk
space and computing requirements
Organize socials and create a more welcoming atmosphere to new
incoming students
Views on the new TNA structure and DDP’s
No compulsory credit requirements, allowing more freedom to develop
over the course of the PhD
Yearly monitoring to keep up to date with training needs
Allows many personal as well as professional development opportunities
Skill based and career based options
Students may want to follow a different career from academia
Allows the student to pick up a lot more skills relevant to career
development, which are not necessarily relevant to their PhD
Social aspects of a PhD
Quite a big change from undergraduate study
A huge change in life and possible culture shock
A PhD is much more than just a project.
