Visiting Postgraduate Researchers (VPGR) are students who are enrolled on PhD programmes at other universities (typically overseas), who visit BU to complete a period of research under the supervision of a specific BU academic.
More information on the Visiting PGR scheme can be found on the staff intranet.
From today, Visiting PGRs who complete a period of study with us will be provided with a confirmation of study letter, allowing them to provide proof to their host universities that they visited BU to support their research projects.
These letters will provide increased legitimacy and visibility to our Visiting PGR scheme, helping to solidify links between BU and our academics and other university research teams.
