Complaint about M/Phil or PhD supervisor

[Paras 54 to 59, Code of Good Practice for Research Students and their Supervisors]

Supervisors are normally assigned to students at the time an offer of admission is made. Every student should be entitled to supervision from a full-time member of the academic staff of the School.

If the initial allocation of supervisor turns out to be inappropriate, a change of supervisor may be effected through the Research Student Tutor or Convener on the initiative of the student or supervisor, preferably, but not exclusively, in the first year.
