G3.10 Registration is a formal milestone within a student’s postgraduate research programme. Faculty Research Degree Committees hold primary responsibility for reviewing student applications for registration prior to formal approval by the University Research Degrees Committee. Applications for research programme approval are expected to be endorsed by local Faculty Research Degree Committees and submitted to the Doctoral Academy within the following time periods from initial enrolment (see G2.1): Full-time MPhil / PhD up to 3 months – Part-time MPhil / PhD up to 6 months – Applications received by the Doctoral Academy after these normal periods must be accompanied by a written explanation from the student’s Director of Studies providing an explanation for late registration. Approval of applications for registration received outside the stated normal periods will be at the discretion of the University Research Degrees Committee. . G3.11 Where a candidate has previously undertaken research as a registered candidate for a research degree the Research Degrees Committee may approve a shorter than usual registration period which takes account of all or part of the time already spent by the candidate on such research. The Research Degrees Committee will normally only consider applications for a shortened registration period from applicants within twelve months of termination/withdrawal of their previous registration. Where a candidate was previously registered at another institution written confirmation of withdrawal, signed by an appropriate signatory from the institution and stating the title and start date of the programme of research, together with the duration of the period of enrolment/registration at the institution is required. G3.12 In addition to registration for the award, candidates are required to enrol each year throughout the duration of the registration period (excluding periods of leave of absence) and to complete an annual monitoring report. The enrolment requirements are detailed in section G 2. G 4 Induction and Initial registration G4.1 A candidate follow a programme of related studies where this is necessary for the attainment of competence in research methods and of knowledge related to the subject of the thesis. This programme shall be intended:
