School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences Progress Review Guidelines

Your second progress review will include the submission of your candidature and project documents, an open 20-minute oral presentation with an additional 10 minutes of question time, and a 60-minute interview with the review panel and advisory team. If reviewers are unable to attend the review, then written feedback should be collated by the Chair for discussion at the interview. A student representative can accompany you to the closed interview upon request.

The document should include:

• a summary statement of progress made since R1 including short summary of completed work (e.g. summary of draft chapters, published journal articles, presentations, patents etc). Any deviations from the plan outlined at R1 should be explicitly addressed. (~2-5 pages)
• a detailed plan/outline for completing the thesis, including a timeline and budget (DOCX, 29.5 KB). (~2-4 pages)
• a portfolio of any completed work to support summary statement of progress (e.g., draft thesis chapters, literature review, publications submitted or published, preliminary results, protocol documents, revised study plans, ethics approvals etc).

The submitted Individual Development Plan and Portfolio of Activities may also be discussed during the interview.

The portfolio of activities should be a document outlining professional development activities, training, etc. that have been undertaken during candidature. This looks similar to an academic CV, but is related primarily to any career and/or development activity completed during your program that is not related to your progression. Choose the relevant sections that relate to your HDR journey. You can also export any Career Development Framework (CDF) you have undertaken by following the how to view your event attendance guide.

Written feedback may be provided by your reviewer(s) either before or after the review meeting. Your chair will also prepare a written report detailing the recommendations of the Progress Review Panel to the Dean, UQ Graduate School.

Your third progress review will include the submission of your candidature and project documents, an open 20-minute oral presentation with an additional 10 minutes of question time, and a 60-minute interview with the review panel and advisory team. A student representative can accompany you to the closed interview upon request.

The document should include:

• a summary statement of progress made since R2, including a summary of completed work (e.g. summary of draft chapters, published journal articles, presentations, patents etc). Any deviations from the plan outlined at R2 should be explicitly addressed. (~2-4 pages)
• a detailed plan/outline for completing the thesis (~1-2 pages)
• a portfolio of completed works to support summary statement of progress. Ideally, this should take the form of thesis draft/outline, completed using the UQ Thesis Preliminary Pages template, with relevant complete and incomplete work inserted at relevant locations. A reasonable target would be to have at least two complete chapters for PhD, or one for MPhil, with progress demonstrated on remaining incomplete work.

The submitted Individual Development Plan and Portfolio of Activities may also be discussed during the interview.
