Research degree forms

Confirmation of project (CP1)

You will need to access and complete the CP1 between registering for your research degree and submitting for your Progress Review Stage 1 (Progression Examination). Please read the CP1 guidance notes (DOC) before you start to complete the form. You will not be able to revise the form once you press 'submit', therefore you are advised to read the guidance and access the PGR confirmation of project form (DOC) below to ensure you have everything you need before you complete the CP1.

You may also find it helpful to complete your draft CP1 with your supervisory team using the PGR confirmation of project form (DOC) before submitting the online version.
