Tutorials for postgraduate researchers.

Document Management

This is the first of 4 document management sessions, where you will be using some of the features of Word to format the content and layout of a document in preparation for producing your First Year Report. 

In part 3 of the 4 part document management series, advanced techniques are covered, including non-numbered headings as found in a thesis (e.g Abstract, Dedication, Acknowledgements), page layout, references and bibliographic tools, and some revision of previously covered skills.

In the 2nd of 4 Document Management sessions, you will be using some of the features of Word to manage and format images and tables in a document, in preparation for producing your First Year Report. Document Management - Content and Layout, is an essential pre-requisite to this. 

This course the final in the series of document management courses available from Digital Skills. It is designed for postgraduate students embarking on writing their thesis. The document should be long enough to need to be written so that each chapter resides in a different document.

Data Analysis

This tutorial is designed to help you develop and practice a variety of Microsoft Excel skills useful to the management of data including using formulas, database functions, logic functions, and gantt charts.

This course provides an introduction to NVivo 12 qualitative analysis software. It is recommended for students using predominantly qualitative data in their research.

This course provides an introduction to Classifications and Attributes in Nvivo and is recommended as a follow on from Intro to Nvivo.

This course provides an introduction to NVivo 1.0 qualitative analysis software. It is recommended for students using predominantly qualitative data in their research.

Student Progress

Change of Circumstances

Find out what you need to do if you have a change in your circumstances as a research student.

During your studies, you may find that situations arise which require you to change your study arrangements.  These can include needing to interrupt your studies for a temporary period, changing from full-time to part-time study, or undertaking fieldwork away (outside study) from the campus. 

If a change is required, this will require approval from the D ean of Postgraduate Studies.

It's important to first discuss your circumstances with your supervisor(s) to seek their advice and guidance. Your supervisor(s) will also need to provide support for the change that you’re requesting when you complete the application form. 

You should also inform your Graduate School as soon as possible about any change in your circumstances so they can ensure the appropriate procedure is followed. You can get further information and support from your Graduate School.

Retrospective requests are not normally approved.

Alternative support

If you are uncomfortable speaking to your supervisor or your Graduate School, you can also seek advice from the Students’ Union , including the Student Advice Centre or, if appropriate, Student Health and Wellbeing Services .

Implications for Council Tax Exemption

Full-time, fully registered students are exempt from paying Council Tax.  Should your circumstances change you must notify the Local Authority of this.  Please see the PGR Council Tax page for further information.

Read on for advice and guidance on what to do in specific circumstances.

Change of programme.

You can start your studies on a particular research programme, but then decide that you want to transfer to a different one (eg from an MPhil to a PhD). In this case, you will need to apply for a ‘Change of Programme’.

Apply for a Change of Programme

You will need to complete an application form, including details of the progress you have made so far. You should ask your supervisor to provide a statement to support the change and also get approval from the Head of School/Institute (or nominee).

Your completed form should be returned to your Graduate School who will forward it to the Dean of Postgraduate Studies for consideration.

Your Graduate School will then email you with the outcome and arrange your programme transfer if your application is approved.

There are various changes of programme, such as:

Transfer Doctorate of Business Adminstration (DBA) to PhD Transfer: Integrated PhD (IPhD) to PhD Transfer from MPhil to IPhD. Transfer from MPhil to PhD Transfer: PhD to MPhil

Please contact your Graduate School if you are considering a Change of programme.

Change of Candidature

If you want to transfer from a full-time to a part-time programme, or vice versa, you will need to apply for a ‘Change of Candidature’.

Apply for a Change of Candidature

Before submitting your application form, be aware that:

• certain degree programmes don’t permit part-time study, so check with your supervisor first to determine if the change is possible
• part-time study may not be possible for international students who hold visas, due to their immigration status. Please seek advice from the Visa Team first
• changing candidature can lead to a change in your tuition fee
• unless a specific request is made, your candidature will be changed from the date that your application is approved. Your remaining candidature will be calculated from the date of the transfer

You can apply using the online Mitigations form in the PGR CoP system  

Applications will be considered by your supervisory team, Academic Unit and the Dean of Postgraduate Studies. Your Graduate School will inform you of the outcome and arrange the transfer if your application is approved.

It's important to first  discuss your circumstances with your supervisor(s)  to seek their advice and guidance. Your supervisor(s) will also need to provide support for the change that you’re requesting when you complete the application form. 

You should also  inform your Graduate School  as soon as possible about any change in your circumstances so they can ensure the appropriate procedure is followed. You can get further information and support from your Graduate School.

Change of Supervisory Arrangements

When you register on your Doctoral or MPhil research degree, you will be provided with a supervisory team and a review of these supervisory arrangements will be carried out at Project Approval stage and approved by the Postgraduate Dean.

Occasionally it may be necessary to make changes to your supervisory team where, for example, where the academic focus of your research alters, where supervisory responsibilities have changed, or where members of the supervisory team have left the employment of the University.   

We will take all reasonable steps to replace supervisors with suitable alternatives and may include arrangements for supervisors to be from a different academic unit or even from outside the University, where necessary.

Where members of the supervisory team are to be permanently changed, your Academic Unit should consult with you in advance of any changes.  Your Academic Unit will then inform the Graduate School of the changes and arrange for Postgraduate Dean approval, so that your student record can be updated.

What should I do if I am having difficulties with my Supervisory Team?

If you are experiencing difficulties with your supervision, you should discuss these with another member of your supervisory team or a member of your APR Panel.  If this is not possible, or does not resolve your issues, you can report your difficulties and seek advice from your Head of Academic Unit or nominee, or your Director of Postgraduate Research/PGR Student Co-ordinator.  They may refer the matter, if necessary, to the relevant Graduate School or Postgraduate Dean for advice and mediation. Alternatively, you may wish to contact your Graduate School/Postgraduate Dean directly for advice and guidance.  Contact details are available  here

We will take prompt action, where possible, to resolve the difficulties you are experiencing and where necessary, a change of supervisor may be suggested by the Head of Academic Unit or nominee, or your Director of Postgraduate Research/PGR Student Co-ordinator.

We will take all reasonable steps to replace supervisors with suitable alternatives and due consideration must be given to the need to provide supervisory expertise that is appropriate to the project, in line with the Code of Practice .  However, there can be occasions where it may not always be possible to provide suitable alternatives due to the specialist nature of doctoral or MPhil study

Please refer to sections 30-55 of the  Code of Practice for further information on supervisory arrangements.

Interruption of Studies

If there’s a time either now or in the future, where you will be unable to study, you can apply for an ‘Interruption of Studies’.

Examples of circumstances where an interruption of studies may be required include:

• taking up full-time employment
• being unable to continue with your studies due to lack of funds
• experiencing ill-health that requires a recovery period of more than 4 weeks
• taking parental leave of more than 4 weeks

Please complete the online ‘Mitigations’ form available in the PGR element of  t he PGR CoP system . 

For your application to be considered, you must:

• ensure the period of interruption requested is normally 4 weeks or more
• specify a start and end date for the interruption period
• provide full details of the reasons for the interruption together with supporting evidence (such as medical evidence or a letter from your employer) and precise details of how your studies will be affected
• normally have support from your supervisor and your Head of School/Institute (or nominee)

Retrospective interruptions will not normally be approved.

Further information for all students

• Your registration will be suspended for the duration of the interruption. You’ll still have access to the University’s IT facilities but library access will be limited
• During the period of interruption, it is anticipated that your contact with your supervisory team will be reduced.
• Your submission deadline will be adjusted to take into account the length of the interruption period granted
• 12 months is the normal maximum period of interruption that is granted

International students holding visas

If you are currently in the UK as the holder of a visa (in any category), suspending your studies could have implications for your immigration status (and that of your family if they are also here in the UK with you).

Please contact the Visa Team on [email protected] before you submit your application.

Students in receipt of funding

If you are in receipt of studentship funding (other than from Newcastle University or a UK Research Council, such as the AHRC or ESRC), it’s your responsibility to notify your sponsor of your interruption to your studies.

If you have a studentship from a UK research council, you must ensure that your interruption complies with the terms and conditions of your studentship. Before submitting your application, please inform the appropriate Graduate School Manager of your intentions and they will advise you.

If you are in receipt of studentship funding from Newcastle University or a UK Research Council, your stipend funding will normally stop during any period of approved interruption.

If you are a US student in receipt of a Federal Loan, an interruption to your studies may have implications for your loan disbursement. Before submitting your application form, please inform [email protected] of your intentions and request advice.

Extensions to Thesis Submission Deadline

If you’re approaching your latest submission deadline and you need more time to complete and submit your thesis, in exceptional circumstances, the Dean of Postgraduate Studies may agree to grant an extension of time for submission.

If you’re unsure of your latest submission deadline, you can find details in the PGR CoP system , or you can contact your Graduate School to confirm your submission date.

Apply for an extension to your thesis submission deadline 

• submit your request before you reach your latest submission date
• ensure your proposed new deadline must not be more than 12 months ahead (6 months for students in the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering)
• provide a detailed explanation of the reasons behind your request, stating how your work has been or will be affected
• provide evidence to support the claims made in your application (eg medical evidence or a letter from your employer)
• provide a clear workplan to show how you will achieve the new submission deadline that you have requested
• ensure that your supervisors support your application - they must have confirmed that your progress and attendance is satisfactory, and have agreed that you should be allowed to continue
• must have had your application approved by the Head of School/Institute (or nominee)

Please complete the online ‘Mitigations’ form available in the PGR element of the  PGR CoP system .

If you’re granted an extension and are registered as an ‘extended submission’ candidate, you will need to pay the extended submission fee as set out in the University fee schedule. The fee for 2023-24 is £2,750 (pro rata).

Extensions of more than 12 months (6 months for students in the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering) will not be considered.

You can still access IT facilities and the Library as normal during the extension period.

For the  2023/24 academic year , the Dean of Postgraduate Studies will be supportive of a fee-free extension to a thesis submission deadline for those students due to submit during 2023/24, where the extension is required due to Covid-19 disruption. Requests should be submitted via the  PGR CoP system , in advance of your current thesis submission deadline. 

If you're currently in the UK as the holder of a visa (in any category), it may not be possible for the University to support an extension to your visa as a result of extending your thesis submission deadline.

Students who receive studentships or external funding

If you receive a studentship from a UK Research Council, such as the ESRC or AHRC, you must ensure that your extension complies with the terms and conditions of your studentship. Before submitting your application, please inform your Graduate School of your intentions and they will advise you.

Early Submission

If you are considering submitting your thesis earlier than the end of your minimum period of candidature, you should discuss this with your Supervisory Team in the first instance before asking your Annual Progress Review Panel to consider this request.

Provided that your Annual Progress Review Panel is supportive of your early submission, you will be permitted to submit your thesis earlier than the end of your minimum period of candidature. 

If you do not have an APR Panel meeting scheduled before you intend to submit, your Supervisory Team should approach the Academic Unit to arrange an extraordinary APR Panel to consider your early submission. 

If you are permitted to submit your thesis earlier than the minimum period candidature you will still be required to pay tuition fees for the whole of your minimum period of candidature.

Cite them Right Online EndNote Guide Teach yourself referencing

Once you start creating citations and references, you need to consider referencing styles. There are hundreds of them out there, and each has a slightly different set of rules about how citations and reference lists should appear in your text. The Cite Them Right Harvard style is one of the main referencing styles used at Newcastle University, but there are many other styles, including Vancouver, IEEE, OSCOLA, and many, many more. Referencing styles are like a set of instructions. They tell you what types of information you need to include, the order that information should appear, and the way it should be formatted in your work. At a basic level, every style will ask you to record who created the information, when, what it is called, and how you access it.​

Your lecturers will expect you to use a specific style, and all your citations and references should match that style accurately and consistently; same punctuation, same capitalisation, same everything. The style of referencing you use will vary depending on your subject area. It's important that you know which style you are required to use – check your programme and module handbooks and speak to your lecturers if you are not sure which style to use.
