The University will soon be launching the new Studentship Approval Recording Tool (StART), an app for recording the full financial details and governance approvals for individual studentships. This app will help streamline the launch of studentship projects and ensure the finances are set up correctly. This should improve both the PGRs’ and supervisors’ experience. The app will also provide vital data for the management of doctoral training grants and University studentship budgets. Full guidance on how to use StART and access to the app will be provided via the Doctoral College Sharepoint site.

The app is currently undergoing final testing and set up. Look out for more details soon.
