PhD forms for staff
Application to conduct research overseas (DOC, 62KB)
PhD students must obtain the approval of the Dean of Postgraduate Research to conduct research overseas. This approval is required only for periods greater than one month (therefore for most conference travel approval of the DPS is not required). International students should discuss their plans with the Postgraduate Office staff as there may be visa and re-enrolment issues.
This approval is required because the duty of care that the University of Canterbury has to its students still applies when those students are conducting research overseas. We have mechanisms in place to assist students if emergencies arise.
