Progress Reviews

HDR progress reviews

Read the School of ADP's guidelines and download any school-specific documentation you need if applicable.

The UQ Graduate School monitors the progression and development of all PhD and MPhil candidates via an assessment framework of ‘progress reviews’.

This approach aims to:

  • Monitor candidates' progression and development at specific points of candidature
  • Identify any issues that impact progression and facilitate improvements
  • Facilitate candidates receiving feedback from academics who are not members of the advisory team
  • Record any issues/concerns

Visit the Graduate School website for an overview of the progress review framework

Ethics, integrity and compliance approvals

Students conducting research involving human subjects must obtain UQ research ethics approval before commencing that aspect of the research. This covers any HDR project involving either structured or formal interviews, or collecting data that includes personal information.

Background and preparatory work, such as contacting experts in a field, does not require ethical clearance.  Rather it just requires you to observe normal academic ethics, such as getting consent to quote from other’s ideas.

Students and their advisors should consult the UQ Research Ethics website, for relevant policies and guidelines.
