Code of practice on research students

The University's Code of Practice on Research Students (PDF - 172 KB) outlines a minimum set of requirements for all parties involved in the awarding of research degrees at The University of Reading. This Code covers all such degrees including MPhil and PhD, the research elements of New Route PhD and Professional Doctorate programmes (including the Henley DBA), relevant elements of PhD by Publication programmes and the LLM (by thesis).

The Code of Practice is a major component of the Handbook for Research Students (PDF - 844KB) , which is provided by your Faculty, your Graduate School or your School. The Code of Practice also contains context and links to other key documents pertaining to the assessment of research degrees, including the Rules for the submission of theses for higher degrees (PDF - 78KB).
