Handbooks - where to find official information
Handbooks these days look ever so exciting with their bright glossy front covers, though the contents never seem to live up to this first impression. HOWEVER, they can be a useful source of official information and they contain most of the rules and regulations that you will be working within during your time as a postgraduate research student. This is why it is at least useful to know where to find them should they be required!
The Postgraduate Handbook can be found at:

The Faculty of Veterinary Science Handbook accessed at:

As a postgrad, you may find the introduction and chapters 1, 5, 6 & 7 useful.
