Your journey starts once you are enrolled in your degree. It is your responsibility to complete the required milestones. We suggest you review the Qualification Regulations relevant to your degree and the Research Student Supervision Policy, to ensure that you fully understand the milestones. It is important to make a time to discuss your progress in relation to each milestone with your supervisory team, and consider your learning needs and goals. This process is important for you, your supervisory team, and the University, to monitor your progress. Failure to complete milestones may place your continuing enrolment at risk.
Part-time students
The milestones depicted in the diagram above are those for the majority of full-time students. Part-time students will complete the Supervisory Agreement and Proposal at the same time as full-time students, but may have up to 18 months in which to complete the Confirmation Process. Progress Reports are expected at six-monthly intervals, and submission of your doctoral thesis is required within a maximum of 480 points of study.
