For students on research programmes, an extension is required if you go beyond the maximum period of time allowed from first registration on your programme. Extension Requests will only be considered where an Annual Progress Review has been completed. Doctoral candidates are allowed a maximum of six years in which to complete the degree from their approved start date. If candidates do not complete the degree within six years from their approved start date they must apply and be approved for an extension. Masters by Research candidates are allowed a maximum of four years in which to complete the degree from their approved start date. If candidates do not complete the degree within four years from their approved start date they must apply and be approved for an extension. To apply for an extension you must log into Graduate Education Manager. Instructions on the process can be found at the GEM Support Site.
