Decision Report 201203352

  • Case ref:
    201203352
  • Date:
    October 2013
  • Body:
    University of Edinburgh
  • Sector:
    Universities
  • Outcome:
    Not upheld, no recommendations
  • Subject:
    teaching and supervision

Summary

Mr C complained that the university did not provide adequate supervision for his research and then did not deal adequately with his complaints about this. Our investigation found that the university had met the requirements of their guidelines for research supervision, and that Mr C's complaint of poor supervision was handled under their university's complaints handling procedure and investigated thoroughly. Although Mr C disagreed with the outcome of the investigation there was no evidence of maladministration and we did not uphold Mr C's complaints.
