Graduate Research Committee

All research students within the College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences are required to have a Graduate Research Committee (GRC), whose role is to ensure quality of research, compliance with best practice, offer mediation if required and to support and provide advice to the research student and supervisor(s).

Graduate Research Committee Annual Progress Review Meetings

The GRC meets formally to consider student performance at an Annual Review Meeting, which normally takes place before the end of June.   A GRC must make a recommendation, via the GRC Annual Progress Report, to the College for every student unless the student has been on an approved leave of absence of the entire academic year.  If a student was present for part of the academic year or was/is on sabbatical and conducting research, a GRC progress report must be submitted.  If it is not possible to hold a meeting in person, the meeting may take place by video conference or Skype.  The GRC may request that the research student make a presentation to them.
