HDR progress reviews
The UQ Graduate School monitors the progression and development of all PhD and MPhil candidates via an assessment framework of ‘progress reviews’.
This approach aims to:
- Monitor candidates' progression and development at specific points of candidature
- Identify any issues that impact progression and facilitate improvements
- Facilitate candidates receiving feedback from academics who are not members of the advisory team
- Record any issues/concerns
Visit the Graduate School website for an overview of the progress review framework
