Staff may submit for a research degree by submission of published works. In terms of academic content, the submission by a member of staff will be judged under the same academic criteria as a thesis or published work submitted by a student. Staff given permission to submit as Staff Candidates are not eligible to receive any supervision in relation to their published works. If staff wish to receive supervision, they should apply to be, and receive the same entitlements as, a research student. These notes apply to members of staff on the UK, China and Malaysia campuses. 2 Eligibility The following are eligible to make an application to register as a staff candidate for a research degree: A graduate of not less than three years standing of an approved University who, at the time of making the application, has been a member of staff of this University for not less than four years. Exceptionally, an application may be approved from a member of staff of the University of not less than four years standing who does not hold a Bachelor's degree but who has a qualification(s) which may be deemed to be equivalent to a Bachelor's degree. The publications submitted for examination must be the result of work done mainly whilst the staff candidate has been employed by the Ǻ. 3 Making an Application Awarding a research degree to a staff candidate on the basis of published works is a two-stage procedure. In the preliminary 'application' stage, the candidate's application is reviewed by the Quality and Standards Committee, a sub-committee of the Teaching and Learning Board, to establish whether the proposed submission is appropriate for the particular degree sought and whether it is likely to be of the required standard for the award of the degree. If a prima facie case is established, the candidate will be invited to proceed to the second stage by submitting the published works for examination. Candidates wishing to apply to submit for a research degree as a staff candidate should send the following documents to Student Services. For all applications: A brief application showing: your full name, your current position within the University, the date of your appointment to that position and your academic qualifications. The name of a member of University staff who will act as an Adviser (see section 4). Normally the Adviser would be your Head of School. Exceptionally a Head of School may appoint a member of his/her staff to act as Adviser in his/her place - in such cases the nominee must be an equal or higher grade than the candidate, must have a PhD and must be research active. Occasionally it may be more appropriate for the Adviser to come from a School other than the one in which you are based. In such cases it is the responsibility of your Head of School to approach the Head of the other School and co-ordinate arrangements. A statement from your Head of School confirming that your qualifications are suitable for you to apply to submit for the degree, the proposed work can be supported on academic grounds and it includes evidence of recent and active research, that the proposed arrangements for an Adviser are appropriate and giving support for your submission. A list of publications to be submitted and a description (no more than 1000 words) of the theme uniting the publications and how the publications are an original contribution to knowledge. 4 The Role of the Adviser Each candidate will be allocated an Adviser (normally the Head of School) who will provide general advice to the candidate about the requirements for a research degree. The Adviser does not have a supervisory role. The Adviser will also be responsible for giving guidance on the selection, coherence and quality of the published works to be submitted for examination and will provide advice on the preparation of the extended abstract to accompany the submission. 5 Submission If the Quality and Standards Committee decides that a prima facie case has been established for the award of a research degree, you will be informed by Student Services (normally within a month of receipt of the application) and invited to submit two copies of the relevant published works to Student Services. Your published works should be submitted within four years of receiving approval to submit from Quality and Standards Committee. Evidence of recent and active research will be required. It is helpful if you can give your Head of School and Student Services some advance notice of the date of submission so that the Head of School can propose the names of two Assessors for Student Services to put to the University for approval. When you submit your published works you will be asked by Student Services to pay the appropriate examination fee at  HYPERLINK "http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/fees" http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/fees. Your submission should be made to Student Services via a e- HYPERLINK "https://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/etheses/" prints. Further information on submission and the examination process can be found at  HYPERLINK "http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/academicservices/qualitymanual/researchdegreeprogrammes/procedures-for-assessment.aspx" http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/academicservices/qualitymanual/researchdegreeprogrammes/procedures-for-assessment.aspx 6 The Assessors Your Head of School will be required by Student Services to nominate two External Assessors for approval by the University Council when he/she is informed of your expected date of submission. Once the Assessors have been approved, Student Services will be responsible for formally inviting them to act and for sending the submission for examination. 7 The Examination The second stage of the procedure for awarding a research degree to a staff candidate is the examination stage. The following procedures apply: 7.1 Student Services will send each Assessor your published works and each will return independent and separate reports direct to Student Services in advance of the viva voce examination (if held). 7.2 A viva voce examination will normally be held if you are submitting for either the degree of PhD or MPhil. 7.3 The Assessors will complete a joint report indicating the agreed result of the whole examination and their recommendation to the University. 7.4 The Assessors reports will be considered by the University, which will decide whether or not a degree should be awarded. 8 Re-Submission An unsuccessful submission will not normally prevent you from applying again to submit for a research degree. However, before deciding to do so candidates in this situation should seriously consider the advice and comments of the Assessors given on the first submission. 9 Degree Conferment The award of a research degree will be formally approved through the relevant University campus which will put your name forward for the first available degree congregation. Advice about the arrangements for the congregation itself can be obtained from Student Services.
