Resource Agreement for Thesis Students

The VUW PGSA and the university negotiated the Resource Agreement for Thesis Students in order to make clear the basic resources that will be provided to all research students from its signing in 2021. Both the VUW PGSA and the university strongly encourage all schools to exceed the minimum requirements recorded in this agreement wherever possible. For the avoidance of doubt, these resources are to be provided to thesis students in addition to the general services provided to all students at the university.

The Resource Agreement for Thesis Students applies to both full- and part-time students carrying out a degree by research, i.e., a doctorate or a master’s degree with a 90- or 120-point thesis. The agreement also applies to students who are revising or making corrections to their thesis after it has been examined but before it is lodged in Te Pātaka Kōrero/The Library.
