Student conduct

It is important that every member of the Doctoral Academy, whether staff or postgraduate researcher, is committed to creating an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

The University encourages postgraduate researchers to work together to ensure the faculty remains a pleasant and supportive place to work and study. This also extends to any student focussed social media platforms.

The University has a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment, discrimination, victimisation or bullying. Any allegations of these behaviours will be investigated and, if appropriate, disciplinary action will be taken. We will also not tolerate victimisation of a person for making such allegations in good faith or supporting someone else to make such a complaint.

This code of behaviour applies to the ways in which we all interact with each other, whether between students, between staff, or between staff and students.

Please take some time to read the following University policy and procedures, including the definitions of what we consider to be bullying, harassment, discrimination or victimisation:

• The Student Charter
• Conduct and Discipline of Students
• Dignity at Work and Study
• Supervision Policy for Postgraduate Research Degrees
