Student and Supervisor Research Degree Handbook
This is the online version of the Student and Supervisor Research Degrees Handbook for research students registered within the School of Public Health.
The handbook covers the basic guidance and procedural information that students will require throughout their period of study in the School. It is important that all students and their supervisors are familiar with the contents of this handbook. Hard copies of the Student and Supervisor Handbook, and the forms and appendices refered to in the handbook, are available on request from Karen Harvey (k.harvey@imperial.ac.uk).
The online version of this website will be updated as necessary throughout the year and alerts will be placed on this page to indicate where new information has been included.
