Directors of Doctoral Programmes (DDPs)

All Schools have an appointed Director of Doctoral Programmes (DDP). They will take overall responsibility for recruitment, admissions, induction, training, and progression from one part to another. They should be your first point of contact if you have a complaint and will be able to provide guidance on the University regulations. The DDP is supported by a team of administrators and sometimes deputy DDPs.

For the current Associate Deans for Research and Innovation (ADR&I), please see the Research and Innovation Committee page.
