Difficulties and disputes
Academic issues
If you encounter any difficulties during your PhD candidature, including dissatisfaction with your supervision, you are encouraged to initially discuss these with your supervisors. If you feel that issues cannot be directlyraised with your supervisors or you remain dissatisfied after doing so, then you should contact your Departmental Postgraduate Coordinator (Postgraduate Coordinator List) to discuss the issues.
If you are still dissatisfied, please contact the Dean of Postgraduate Research.
