The Research Degrees Team is here to support all research students from first enrolment to conferment of your degree. We provide all the central professional administration and support for all matters related to the University's research degree programmes, including all prospective and current students, in addition to assisting staff involved with delivering and supervising research degree programmes.

We are normally based in Student Central in the Forum of the John Henry Brookes Building on Gipsy Lane site, Headington. However please note that we are not always based in the Office, but we can always be contacted by email during the core opening hours 10.00am - 4.00pm Monday to Friday.
