There shall be a Graduate Liaison Committee consisting of up to six junior members reading for higher degrees, and the Director of Graduate Studies. One or two of the junior members should be following an MSc by coursework.

Committee members shall be elected from amongst graduate students admitted by the Statistics Department and graduate students following taught MScs by coursework for which the Department shares some teaching responsibility. Nominations and self-nominations shall be invited by circulating these graduate students electronically in the second week of Michaelmas Term. The Committee shall have the power to co-opt junior members such that membership is complete. The committee may operate, if necessary, without its full complement of places having been filled.

The committee shall be concerned with matters such as the syllabus, teaching arrangements, library facilities, office facilities, and the general aspects of examinations. It shall annually review examiners reports for the taught MScs.

The Director of Graduate Studies shall be the chairman of the committee. The Academic Adminstrator or another member of Statistics Department staff shall act as secretary to the committee. The minutes of the Committee shall be forwarded to the Departmental Committee.
