Purpose of this Code of Practice
The purpose of this Code of Practice is to establish clear and explicit mutual expectations, and to minimise the risks and problems of personal difficulties, inadequate supervision, or unsatisfactory student performance. It will be provided to all academic staff and research students during their induction. In addition to this Code of Practice, Schools will prepare as necessary or as indicated within this document written materials with more specific statements of School requirements and arrangements, and these also will be provided to academic staff and research students. All academic staff and research students have a responsibility to familiarise themselves with the provisions of this Code of Practice, and with the procedures for monitoring of progress and submission of theses required by funding bodies, their Schools, the College, and the University.
The College undertakes to provide the following for all research students, sometimes in conjunction with neighbouring or collaborating university and college institutions:
- appropriate environments in which to work, which are conducive to interaction with fellow researchers and academic staff
- appropriate library and laboratory facilities
- access to appropriate computing facilities and accompanying technical support.
