Role of the student committees: • Provide a student voice to raise any concerns or issues related to PGR teaching and provision • Provide another route alongside personal and year tutors for pastoral support • Help collect data on the availability of basic student facilities, such as desk space and computing requirements • Organize socials and create a more welcoming atmosphere to new incoming students

  4. Views on the new TNA structure and DDP’s • No compulsory credit requirements, allowing more freedom to develop over the course of the PhD • Yearly monitoring to keep up to date with training needs • Allows many personal as well as professional development opportunities • Skill based and career based options • Students may want to follow a different career from academia • Allows the student to pick up a lot more skills relevant to career development, which are not necessarily relevant to their PhD

  5. Social aspects of a PhD • Quite a big change from undergraduate study • A huge change in life and possible culture shock A PhD is much more than just a project.
