The Research Group is also approached by representatives of industry seeking to employ graduates, and with the permission of the student, is able to pass their details on.

12.1 Paid Work Guidelines for Oxford Graduate Students

The University recognises that some graduate students will want to undertake a limited amount of paid work during their studies, whether as part of their academic development (e.g. teaching and demonstrating) or to help to support themselves financially.

Full-time graduate students should generally regard their studies as a full-time occupation of at least 40 hours per week, and should normally be available for academic commitments during core working hours (i.e. 9 am to 5 pm on weekdays). Graduate students on taught courses should regard this as applying to term-time study.
