This working group is one of four UKCGE working groups that have been established this year, the other three being: Postgraduate Funding and Resourcing, Postgraduate Student Experience, Diversity and Quality and Reputation of the UK Doctorate.
Dr Terry McMaster (Working Group Chair) and Dr Douglas Halliday (EC Liaison) said:
“The new working groups provide an excellent opportunity for the UKCGE to gather input from across the UK HE sector. We are looking forward to working with experts to develop a greater understanding of different approaches institutions have in their organisational structures to support doctoral provision. The working groups will have direct input into the onging work of the UKCGE in supporting and sustaining a vibrant postgraduate activity across the UK which maintains and develops a high quality experience for graduate students”.
The Council’s Principal Officer, Carolyn Wynne said:
“The working groups have been agreeing their terms of reference and initial meetings have been hugely successful in setting the agenda of where each group will focus. The wide representation from the postgraduate sector within these groups is bringing strong contributions to the discussions and the Council are looking forward to providing a more detailed progress report from each of the working groups at the International Annual Conference”.
