Graduate

The Unit has been created with the responsibility to coordinate postgraduate studies in the Department.

The Unit liaises with The School of Graduate Studies, which is the statutory body of the University that oversees graduate programmes of the University and activities of prospective and current postgraduate students.

In addition to these core activities, the Unit exists to support postgraduate students and staff with research assistance such as thesis proposal planning.  Seminars and workshops in research methods and the use of statistics to enhance research are also provided to postgraduate students and supervisors on a regular basis.

Our core mandate is to assist postgraduate students in the pursuit of academic excellence. The Unit aims to enhance the profile of postgraduate and research activities at the Department, to contribute to the goal of attracting students into our research community, and to raise awareness of potential design and technology innovation as an outcome of our postgraduate research.

Finally, the Unit seeks to streamline research reports to conform to the standards set by the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) of the University. In this regards, templates and guidelines for various activities are available as downloads on the SGS website.
