Annual Progress Reports

2008 Annual Progress Report  review process  -  NOW ON!

 

The Annual Progress Report (APR) is an important and formal tool for the University and its Divisions to monitor and evaluate each research candidate’s progress. Participating in the APR process and completion of the Report is a mandatory requirement of higher degree research candidature.

The process provides an opportunity for the candidate and supervisor(s) to critically reflect on the progress in the candidate’s research degree program during the current year and on intended research directions in the year ahead so as to ensure a quality and timely completion to the research program.

The recommendation of progress made by the Division is reviewed and noted by the Higher Degree Research Committee. A recommendation of satisfactory progress will enable the research degree enrolment to continue.

The Report is available to download in both an editable and a PDF version. Please refer to the links below for further information.
