The UCL Doctoral Committee is responsible for all of the subject-specific doctoral committees. Its task is to draft and implement the doctoral regulations, and it also acts as an arbitrator and appeal body in the event of any disputes. It provides a forum for discussing specific PhD-related matters.
CODOL is chaired by the pro-rector for research and comprised of the chairs of each subject-specific doctoral committee and one representative of the junior academic staff; the PhD administrative coordinator acts as secretary.
