Where do I find information about this week’s training?

What are the DTP’s rules regarding employment alongside the PhD?
UKRI-NERC advise that PhD students are permitted to do a small element of paid work outside the academic sector, as long as it does not affect their ability to complete their PhD on time. The amount of time is at the student’s and their supervisor’s discretion, but it is recommended that this is no more than six hours in any week. If you have not yet been allocated your project, the DTP directors will be required to give you permission.

Please note: Students in full-time employment are not eligible for a stipend of any kind from UKRI. A Student in part time employment may be eligible for a part time award, which should not be less than 50% of full time.
