  • In the first instance, the Chair of the Thesis Committee may be able to help.
  • The Postgraduate Student Liaison Officer, Dr Neil Hudson, is available to provide support to all students within the School.
  • Students are also welcome to talk to the School Postgraduate Director, Professor Colin Farquharson or any of the School Postgraduate Divisional Convenors (see below).
