PGR School Contacts
Postgraduate researchers (PGRs) can use these School contacts to reach out to their Research and Enterprise Coordinator (REC) or Director for Postgraduate Researchers (DPGR) with any School-level queries.
Each School has one or more administrators (often ‘Research and Enterprise Coordinators’ or ‘RECs’) who provide support for research degree programmes. Together with your main supervisor, these colleagues will be your first port of call for guidance on policies and processes, and for sign-posting to appropriate support services and resources.
Each School also has a senior academic (the ‘Director for PGRs – DPGR – or School equivalent) responsible for research degree delivery, and PGR provision and support within the School. The DPGR oversees various processes, including Formal Progress Reviews, changes to registration, and the appointment of examiners. More complex queries may be escalated to the DPGR by you main supervisor and/or REC, or you can contact them directly to seek advice about complex or sensitive issues.
