At Queen Mary, you will work with two supervisors who together will provide you with clear guidance and support throughout your studies. The School’s academic staff will provide expert supervision as well as pastoral support for students throughout the course of their research, writing-up and eventual thesis submission. Your supervisors will also closely advise and prepare you for the formal progression meeting that takes place after 9-12 months of research.
