PhD Progression Points

This document outlines the progression points for PhD students at the University of Salford. It discusses the purpose of progression points, which are milestones to ensure structure and monitor progress. Key progression points include an initial learning agreement, annual reports, an interim assessment after 9-12 months, and an internal evaluation 12 months after the interim assessment. These assessments evaluate students' research skills, knowledge, and original contributions, and can result in an outcome of pass, resubmission, or transfer to an MPhil. The document provides timelines and criteria for each progression point to help students successfully complete their PhD.
