Following being misled, then a progression downgrade from MPhil/PhD to MPil and going though appeal. I'm taking it to the OIA.

What happened exactly? And what is OIA?

A long story; mislead several times, enforced process changes, lack/no supervision, university refuses any responsibility and failed appeals

Best of luck, I'm very sorry to hear what you had to go through,

Thanks Hugh; it's painful when you've self funded.
