Research Student Progression

The University has a system of progression review to help MPhil, PhD and Professional Doctorate students plan and progress their research, by submitting written material for review at regular intervals - these are known as the Research Student Progress Groups (RSPGs).
Research Student Progress Groups (RSPGs)
There is an annual RSPG in July, followed by an interim RSPG in November.
Please note that the submission deadline is usually specified in the Research Student Handbook.
An RD2 form (find it in the Research form centre) must be submitted to the RSPG as required. If you are a first-year student, you will be asked to submit an RD1 (confirmation viva) form, followed by a presentation to the reader organised by your supervisory team.
Students who fail to submit their work by the deadline may have their progress referred or suspended.
Further information is available in the Handbook for Research Students and Supervisors and Code of Practice 26/27
Further information
You should keep in regular contact with your supervisors and work towards your Progress Reviews throughout your studies. All forms will need to be signed off by your supervisory team. If you are experiencing any difficulties in meeting your deadlines, please let them know as soon as possible.
If you have any questions about the process, please speak to your supervisor in the first instance. For further advice or support, you can also contact the Research and Postgraduate Office at research@londonmet.ac.uk
