Annual review deadlines are manually calculated by the Doctoral School based on your start date and the schedule provided by your Departmental Lead / School Director of Postgraduate Education.
These deadlines will only be amended if you have interrupted your studies at the time at which you are meant to complete your annual review. In these cases, your deadline will be changed to be two months from the date you return to your studies (in line with Section 9 (1) of the Research Degree Regulations).
In all other cases, annual review deadlines will not be amended, and instead, your panel should take into account how much time you have been actively engaged with your studies since the last meeting and make a decision about your progress with this factored in.
