The Code of Practice on Postgraduate Research Degrees
The Code of Practice on Postgraduate Research Degrees (COP) supplements the formal University regulations by providing detailed guidance on a variety of issues relevant to Postgraduate Research students.
All Research Institutes, research students and staff who are associated with Keele’s research degree programmes are required to understand and comply with the Code of Practice.
Accessing the COP
The complete, revised Code of Practice on Postgraduate Research Degrees 2011 approved by Senate on 30 November 2011 as a PDF file.

History
