Registering for your research degree
Guidance for new and continuing students
All students must register at the start of their course and also each year on the anniversary of their start date. The course start date is included in the offer letter.
The requirement for registration continues until thesis submission. If a student is interrupted during their normal registration period they will be required to register once they return to their studies.
Registration Process
This is completed within the Student View. There are a number of sections which need completing which are followed by the relevant payment being made.
For new students there is more detailed advice on our Joining the University webpage
All new students are required to complete an ID Check while all EU and International students must also do one each time they re-register. An email will be sent to each student with more information once they have completed the My Registration sections within their Student View.
