Changing your studentship

Read about the procedures you need to go through if you want to change your studentship.

During your doctoral research there may be times when you want to change your studentship.

It is important that you discuss any changes first with your supervisor and then with the Doctoral School.

The Research & Enterprise coordinator for your school can also provide you with advice about University regulations and provide the forms you need to complete the process.

Forms are also available via the Research Student Administration Office.
