Policy, Strategy & Quality Assurance
This page links to policies, guidance, and quality processes that support the PGR experience at the University. The starting points for understanding the policy landscape for PGR in the University are the University Regulations and the PGR Code of Practice. These are both updated annually. Furthermore, we ensure our PGR Code of Practice aligns with the UKRI Training Grant Terms & Conditions.
PGRs are also strongly advised to ensure that they understand the broader context of conducting research within the University and to develop an understanding of Research Integrity and the University's policies that support Good Research Practice.
Please review the sections below to find information about quality assurance and University policies and guidance on a range of topics.
PGR Code of Practice
Generative AI for PGR students: Checklist
A Checklist on GenAI for PGR students is available: this aims to highlight key considerations to help PGRs use GenAI tools responsibly and in line with university guidelines, and serve as a useful starting point for discussions with supervisors. This resource was originally created for the university’s PGR Research Integrity Training Course.
