Sessions for Supervisors
Sessions available for academic staff to help encourage quality supervision of doctoral students
The Faculty of Graduate Research (FGR) provides skills-development opportunities for supervisors throughout the year. We offer sessions specially designed for academic staff to support them in their role as supervisors and help encourage quality supervision of research students. Each session comprises a brief presentation followed by a discussion on a particular topic relevant to supervision. Our sessions are an opportunity to examine the evidence base for good practices in supervision, interact with other supervisors, encourage knowledge sharing (identifying and sharing good practice) and share inspiration and skill sets.
To participate in a session for doctoral supervisors, registration is mandatory. To sign up, click the session of your choice.
