PGR complaints procedure
If you are unhappy with any aspect of your experience at Keele you can submit a complaint to the University, as detailed in the Code of Practice on Postgraduate Research Degrees (PDF, 158KB) on Postgraduate Research Degrees.
Every effort should be made to resolve your issue on an informal basis in the first instance, without recourse to a formal procedure. In most Research Schools, your first course of action should be to contact your supervisor to discuss the matter.
Each Research School has its own complaints procedure and details of each of these can be found in the relevant Research School handbook.
If you are unable to resolve your complaint informally through the Research School's procedure, you can submit a formal complaint to the University under Regulation B7: Student Complaints.
If you need advice in relation to a complaint, you may wish to seek assistance from Advice & Support at Keele (ASK). ASK are located in the KeeleSU building.
