The transfer assessment is a great opportunity to get feedback on your research project and the progress you have made thus far. Once you have completed your oral assessment, the assessors are required to complete an RDA3: Transfer of registration from MPhil to PhD - Assessment Outcome Form and submit it to the Faculty Research Degrees Committee (FRDC) for consideration, along with a copy of your transfer report.
On receipt of the RDA3 Form the committee will consider the recommendation and feedback. A decision on whether to approve or reject will be made and shared with you along with detailed feedback.
You can find more information about the timeframe in:
- Academic Regulations for Postgraduate Awards, see Section E: Progress and Progression
- Postgraduate Research Student's and Supervisor's Handbook, see Section I: Academic Progress (MPhil, MPhil/PhD, PhD and Professional Doctorates)
