Residence Requirements

Full Time

Full-time research students are expected to be resident during academic term-time, and to maintain regular contact with their supervisor. The frequency of these meetings will depend upon the nature of the research and it is left largely to the student and supervisor concerned to determine a suitable timetable.

Part Time

Part-time research students have no residence requirements, but they are expected to meet with their supervisor at least four times a year, which can be achieved through a couple of visits to Durham during the year. Fuller details can be found on our page devoted to part-time studies.
