I am Applying for PhD and after the completion of 64% of the application I reached at the page titled as “Proposed Study in the UK (page 1)” which mentions the following text.
You must name your proposed supervisor at each university. Your application will be considered ineligible unless it is accompanied by at least one supporting statement from a UK supervisor. You must seek prior permission from all the proposed supervisors you list in your application. It is your responsibility to ensure that each of your proposed supervisors has received the request for a supporting statement and the each is able to complete the supporting statement by the deadline.

My question is that what is a supporting statement ? is this a form ? I have succeeded to agree one professor for my supervision and now he is demanding for the supporting statement form. kindly help me in this regard.

    Muhammad Usman · September 12, 2019 at 7:59 AM
