Uploading a proposal summary for the first time: You may have received an email asking you to enter details of your research proposal into your Student e-Service record. If you have been asked to do this then please ensure that you do so, regardless of what information you may have already supplied to us. Please do not send us your summary by email.
To enter this information, please login to your Student e-Service account. Having logged in please click the ‘Course Information’ tab, followed by the ‘Research’ link in the top left hand hand corner. You can then paste or type your summary into the text box, remembering that you have a maximum of 2000 characters (note – not 2000 words). Once you have entered your summary please check it carefully before you click ‘Submit’, because once you do that you will be unable to amend it yourself.
Editing your summary: If you have submitted a summary then you are unfortunately not able to amend it yourself. If you do need to make a change please email the Records team with details of this.
A wealth of information and useful contacts for research students can be found on the Registry website
MPhil/PhD and MD(Res) students are permitted to write up their thesis in College for six months immediately following the end of their registration and all experimental work. This allows you to have access to all College facilities for a registration fee of £100, payable either by you, your department/division or sponsor. An examination entry form must be submitted at the start of the writing up period. The Writing Up period cannot be extended beyond six months, but students may continue to write up away from College for the life of the Examination Entry.
If you enter the writing up status, an invoice for the £100 fee will be sent directly to you. If you are not covering the cost yourself, you should pass the invoice on to the relevant department or sponsor.
Overseas students should note that they may need to extend their visa as a result of entering writing-up status, and should discuss this with the International Office if necessary.
