Calling all postgraduate researchers, supervisors and research administrators!
You should by now have heard that we are working hard to have our new postgraduate monitoring system online for the beginning of the new academic year. The system will enhance the experience of all those involved in research degrees:
- Postgraduate Researchers
- Supervisors
- Research Administrators
The main aim is to move away from paper-based forms and to a more streamlined on-line system. The system will guide you through the process and monitoring of PGR progression.
We’re now at the exciting stage of naming the system. The steering group has come up with a list of possible names for you to vote on. Cast your votes here – http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/L8H9VHF for:
- myResearch Degree
- ResearchPAD (Progression, Administration, Development)
- BURD (Bournemouth University Research Degrees)
The poll will be open until 22 July. Happy voting!
