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:

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.
