School of Arts Events
Notice for MPhil Upgrades, 2020
As previously advised in Doctoral School circulars, due to the current health crisis we will not be holding a School of Arts Upgrade symposium this year. MPhil students should submit the Upgrade portfolio on PhD Manager by May 15 to ensure timely reporting on the outcome to the Doctoral School by June 15. Extensions to this date can be granted in consultation with supervisors and the School of Arts Director of Doctoral Studies, Ashley Thompson, keeping in mind that we seek to keep students on track for progression mid-September whenever possible. Students should inform the Doctoral School of any extensions organised in this way by sending an email to: doctoralschool@soas.ac.uk.
