Important Documentation
This handbook contains useful administrative information about the Doctoral Training Partnership, its structure, access to training and development opportunities and useful contacts. Please read it carefully and keep for future reference. The handbook will be reviewed annually.
It is your responsibility to understand the rules and regulations that govern your PhD, so you should also read the regulations and codes of practice for your home university:
