Your rights
One of your major rights is the right to good supervision. This
would include:
- regular dedicated meetings with your supervisor to discuss
the progress of your work;
- useful feedback on your work (feedback on conceptualising
your research, formulating your topic, handling of data, writing
up of your thesis);
- provision of an alternative supervisor in the absence of your
main supervisor;
- encouragement and financial support to present your work in
conferences and through publishing.
Your obligations
Along with your rights you have obligations, so you have to:
- comply with all university requirements and procedures;
- attend the university for seminars, tutorials, courses or
for any other purpose required by your supervisor or head of department;
- submit regular progress reports as specified by your university;
- complete your study within a specified period of time.
