Please find attached the 1st announcement of details regarding



- the 2nd year PG poster session in the department on 14th August (exact location to be confirmed at a later date)

- end of 2nd year reports and vivas



The 2nd year reports will be completed on SPIDER using the university-wide Annual Progress Report forms. As part of your report you are required to upload a PDF version of your poster + a 1-page thesis plan. Please see attached guidance notes for details of the information you are required to provide on the form.



The procedure this year will be   :

- Student completes and submits parts 1A and 1B of the Annual Progress Report form on SPIDER.

- When the student submits parts 1A and 1B, the supervisor is notified and completes part 2 in advance of the viva.

- PG poster session takes place

- Viva takes place involving supervisors and viva chair (termed "assessor" on SPIDER). Part 3 (assessors form) is completed on SPIDER by the assessor at the viva.

- Student "signs off" on SPIDER acknowledging feedback received

- PG tutor or HoD adds final comments and submits, locking the report



The deadline for students to submit parts 1A and 1B of the form is *6th August*.



Please contact me if you have any questions.
