Formal progression
All postgraduate researchers are subject to Formal Reviews of Progress.
These take place annually for full-time students, and biennially for part-time students.
Formal Reviews of Progress are designed to be a supportive process to maximise your chances of successful on-time completion.

Formal Review of Progress: how it works
You, your supervisor(s) and your Progression Panel document your progress review in SkillsForge.
You and your supervisor are required to complete a Progression Preparation Form in advance of the review, and then the Progression Panel will complete a formal record of the review itself, indicating the outcome of the assessment of your progress against the University's progression criteria.
