PhD Manager
PhD Manager (2018 onwards)
PhD Manager will mean that supervisory meetings will no longer be recorded on the Moodle logbooks, as these are no longer supported by the vendor, but on the system which will provide a user-friendly dashboard where all the required information on these meetings will be documented and agreed by the students and supervisors.
