The Phase I project successfully replaced ten of the more straightforward paper-based Graduate Studies Office (GSO) forms with online forms, digitised approvals and workflows in eVision. Moving to online applications makes life easier for students, academics and administrative staff, provides a faster, simplified process, and reduces the risk of data breaches.
The Phase II project aims to move as many as possible of the remaining on-courses processes into eVision. Consolidating data collection and administration onto eVision means that applications are stored in one place, and can be accessed and approved from anywhere, via eVision or Student Self Service. Alongside Phase II, the Research Degrees Management System project is looking at a small tranche of more complex GSO forms, used to record and manage post-graduate researcher (PGR) outcomes.
