Both PhD and Master’s thesis students must submit regular progress reports.
Progress reporting helps to ensure that candidates receive quality supervision, make suitable progress with their research, receive access to resources and have plans in place for the next phases of their research. If you see problems emerging of any kind, it is best to be open about them in your report. Where problems are identified, these reports allow for steps to be taken to resolve them as soon as possible. You can raise any issues of concern to you. These might include:
Issues raised in these reports that are of concern to postgraduate students generally will be brought to the attention of the Faculty of Graduate Research.
