What do I do if I wish to conduct primary research (such as fieldwork, observations and interviews) away from campus?

Guidance for PGR students on conducting primary research.

During your studies, if you decide to undertake either of the following activities away from campus, you will need to complete an ‘Application to Undertake Study Outside the University’:  

• primary research away from your approved campus of study (e.g. fieldwork, data collection, study visit to library/archive/industrial unit) 
• writing up your thesis or completing corrections from home 

Further information is available in the Study Outside the University section here.
