Programme: After registration, students will meet their nominated supervisor(s) for an induction meeting. The main objective of this meeting, which must take place during the first week of term, is to familiarise students with the programme in which they will be working. The meeting should cover the following:

• the location of the students’ desk and/or studio space (if applicable)
• the location of the resources they might require for their research (e.g. the photocopier, fax, telephone and ICT, if applicable)
• introductions to relevant staff (academic, administrative and technical) in the Programme/School
• Health and Safety procedure
• specific programme mechanisms for research degree student assessment, including presentations, training course attendance, submission of mandatory components of the RMC and Interim Examination requirements.

Research Methods Course: On 28 September at 10am in the Stevens Seminar Room, students are invited to attend an induction meeting for the Research Methods Course. At this meeting students will meet the Director of Research, the Research Tutor and the Research Office staff and will receive information about the Research Methods Course timetable.
