This Charter sets out the standards of provision that the University aims to provide for its research students. The University is committed to aiming for the highest quality possible and this Charter is one way of outlining that commitment to you. It should be read in conjunction with the main Student Charter, the International Student Charter, the Research Studies Handbook and other appropriate documentation including that provided by your Research Graduate School.

What this Charter does:

• Most of the expectations included in this Charter have been developed as a means of ensuring that we achieve and maintain the highest standards of provision. This is a statement of intent and is not a legal document and there may be occasions when the University or students are prevented or delayed from meeting the expectations outlined in this Charter through circumstances or delays beyond their control.
• This Charter also sets out what we expect of you. The quality of the service that we believe you are entitled to expect is, therefore, balanced with responsibilities placed on you as a student: both are intended to ensure that you gain maximum benefit from your time with us.
