This section applies to students who are currently registered for a research degree at another university and who wish, as a result of their supervisor moving to Leeds, to arrange a transfer to Leeds to continue with their research.
-
Staff in Faculties/Schools at Leeds should note the following points:
- Applicants can only transfer to Leeds with their supervisor at the point their supervisor’s contract at Leeds begins.
- The student has to register at Leeds for a minimum of 12 months full-time or 24 months part-time, and pay the appropriate fee.
- The student must complete a research study application form as usual and the School must complete the transfer-in recommendation form. RSA will check the details on this form with the student’s previous institution.
- It is the School’s responsibility to arrange the transfer of any sponsorship. This should be arranged prior to being offered a place at Leeds and evidence of this should be enclosed with the application.
- Where a student has been registered elsewhere for a period of one year or more we need confirmation that they have satisfied the other institution's review procedures for transfer to a degree category (e.g. PhD)
- The acceptance letter will identify how many years spent registered at the other institution may be counted towards the Leeds Candidature and will draw specific attention to the University’s Ordinances and Regulations.
