30. Governance and postgraduate degree regulations
Introduction
This chapter contains information on how postgraduate studies in the Faculty of Medicine are governed, and the resolutions for all postgraduate degrees.
The Combined Board of Postgraduate Studies for the Faculties of Dentistry, Medicine and Pharmacy
Every faculty has a Board of Postgraduate Studies, which oversees the postgraduate courses and candidatures in that faculty. The board for the Faculty of Medicine is combined with the boards for the Faculties of Dentistry and Pharmacy (research only), with the full title being the Combined Board of Postgraduate Studies for the Faculties of Dentistry, Medicine and Pharmacy (CBoPGS).
The CBoPGS is split into two subcommittees, the Coursework Subcommittee that deals with matters relating to coursework candidatures and courses, and the Research Subcommittee that deals with research candidatures and courses.
The chair of the Research Subcommittee is Professor John Christodoulou (Faculty of Medicine) and that for the Coursework Subcommittee is Professor Robert Cumming (Faculty of Medicine).
These two subcommittees meet on a monthly basis with the meetings staggered in time so that members who represent their disciplines at both committees are able to attend.
The constituent members of the Coursework Subcommittee are normally the coursework coordinators of the faculties of Dentistry and Medicine. The committee is concerned with individual coursework candidatures, new course proposals and amendments, policy development and implementation and quality assurance issues such as coursework reviews.
The constituent members of the Research Subcommittee are normally the postgraduate coordinators of the disciplines and departments of the three faculties.
The committee is concerned with individual research candidatures, new research course proposals, policy development and implementation, and other matters pertaining to quality assurance and best practice.
The secretary of the two committees is Ms Kay Thompson, the Manager of the Postgraduate Student Administration Unit.
All requests for admission to a course must be approved by the Combined Board, as are requests for suspension, extensions, and requests by course coordinators to award a student a qualification after fulfilling the requirements of the course.
Postgraduate Student Administration Unit
The Combined Board is supported by the Postgraduate Student Administration Unit (PSAU) for the Faculties of Dentistry, Medicine and Pharmacy. The staff of this unit are well versed in the complexity of rules and regulations surrounding the various programs of study and are happy to assist students with information at any time.
The PSAU should be a student's first point of contact for anything to do with the administration of their course. The course coordinator can help with details of the course, including timetables and which units of study to take.
Office hours: 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday
