Continuation/transfer viva report

This report will be submitted towards the end of your first year on standard PGR programmes or your second year for part-time PGRs, and will be assessed by an oral examination.

This assessment will be undertaken by two assessors independent of your supervisory team. The assessors will then recommend whether you should progress to the next phase of the programme.

The potential outcomes from your continuation/transfer report are outlined in a flowchart on the FBMHM1990 milestone under the resources tab. Where a second attempt is required, this will need a further viva.

Please note that where programmes have a structured taught element in Year 1, the Continuation/Transfer Report and Viva will take place at either 18 months or 24 months.

This will be specified in the programme handbook or on eProg. The requirements for the end of Year 1 progression will also be detailed in the handbook.

The Faculty has outlined three potential formats for the Continuation/Transfer Report. Detailed guidance on the structure and format can be found on the Continuation or Transfer Report Milestone in eProg by clicking the blue unit code number to reveal the milestone profile information, for example, FBMHM1990.

The appropriate format of your report should be agreed in consultation with your supervisory team. The assessment criteria for the Continuation/Transfer Report are detailed on the eProg milestone profile or on the online eProg form.
