At AUT, a research student is someone who is currently doing a research project as part of one of the following programmes:
- Bachelor’s degree with honours
- Postgraduate diploma or certificate
- Master of Philosophy
- Doctor of Philosophy
- Professional doctorate
The essential steps for working with you and your research supervisors are below. Our focus is on working with supervisor feedback.
Your supervisor can request an academic writing appointment with an academic writing advisor. This occurs once your writing has been commented on by supervisors. In accordance with AUT’s proofreading guidelines for student assessments and the guidelines for the proofreading of postgraduate theses and dissertations at AUT, academic writing advisors do not proofread or check student writing. There is a maximum of two academic writing appointments per student for each semester.
You also have direct access to academic writing advisors through thesis writing workshops, drop-ins and general workshops on academic writing. You can also book more specific workshops about academic writing for research through the Graduate Research School.
