Graduate Studies in the MPLS Division
Welcome to the Graduate Studies Webpages for the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division. These pages provide a resource of useful information for all graduate students in the Division, both those on taught graduate courses and those following research degrees, and will also be helpful to staff in departments supporting graduate students. These pages are complementary to the Division’s Graduate Studies Handbook. The handbook is given to new graduate students at the beginning of their studies. It is updated annually, and the information on these webpages links to the latest edition of the handbook.
