The Graduate Research College, in line with the University's Mission,

concentrates on developing research activities in fields of national and

international significance where it can draw upon local resources and

opportunities, and in return, can make a significant contribution to the North

Coast region. It ensures quality in postgraduate research candidate

recruitment, supervision, examination and support, and acts to remove

barriers wherever possible for administering policies and rules as they relate

to Research and Research Training. This is done through the Research

and Research Training Advisory committee, which is a sub committee

of the Academic Board of the University and through other sub-committees

such as the Higher Degrees Committee (Research).
