Covid-19 accommodations
If travel is still restricted in September 2020 due to Covid-19, the University will be able to support PhD candidates remotely, though would expect candidates to be present on campus at least monthly as soon as travel restrictions are lifted. Candidates will also be supported in developing methods of remote data collection, should this be necessary. Bursaries will be paid once candidates are present on campus, though would be backdated if a period of remote working had been necessary.
