During your study in the PhD programme, you will be required to attend face-to-face mandatory training organised by the Graduate school from time to time. These trainings are aimed at supporting you with your learning and academic progression.In the first year of your study, you will be required to have your internal transfer viva examination. For this examination, you need to produce a transfer report and detailed research proposal with a substantial piece of work and present these documents before the internal examiner who will then write a report/recommendation to the university on your academic progress on the programme.
