This style file should be used for typesetting online assessments for the 2021/22 academic year.

This should be used in conjunction with the LaTeX style file and the user manual.

The LaTeX style file for exam papers needs this file to put the QMUL logo on the front of the exam paper.  Put it somewhere LaTeX will find it (e.g. in the same directory as your tex file).

Policy & Application Form to request financial support for childcare during attendance at conferences

All full-time PhD students at Queen Mary are expected to take part in two weeks of transferable skills training activities per academic year (part-time students should complete a pro-rata rate of training as appropriate). Suggested activities include attending and presenting at conferences, participating in or helping to organise journal clubs, writing groups and seminar series, and attending training courses or workshops. Selection of appropriate activities and courses should form part of your relationship with your supervisor. The training and development activities you take part in should be recorded using the Skills Points System. 

See the files in the folder below for useful information on how to use the Skills Points System

• For full-time PhD students the annual holiday entitlement is 30 working days plus the eight UK public holidays and the four QMUL closure days. Holiday entitlement is pro-rata for part-time students and for parts of a year.
• PhD students should agree their holiday periods with their primary supervisor and note this in the Supervisor Log on MySIS. PhD leave cannot be approved on MyHR so should not be requested through this system.
• PhD students should also log absences other than annual leave (e.g. attendance at conferences, research visits, etc) on the Supervision Log, after agreeing these with their supervisor.

• If you require funding for travel/conference please speak directly to your Head of Group or PI to request approval for funding and agree the amount BEFORE submitting any claims to the SMS office. You may wish to do this via email so you have a record of what has been agreed.

• If you pay your for your own travel expenses, you should then reclaim this using an expense claim form (excel claim form / PDF claim form) which you will need to have signed by your HoG / PI before handing into the SMS office along with original receipts. 

• If you would prefer to have your travel booked and paid for directly by the School, please obtain your HoG /PIs approval in writing (via email) first detailing the amount approved and the budget code, after which you can forward this to Paul along with full details of booking requirements. Paul can then assist with booking your travel/accommodation/conference fees. 

• Please do not submit one of the old “absence on college business” forms as these are no longer in use.
