Overview
Supervision of postgraduate research students requires an awareness of national and international contexts of local policy and procedures governing supervision.
It requires an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the supervisor and of the range of effective practices available to new and experienced supervisors.
Supervisors require support in developing a personal and effective toolkit which will assist them in the ongoing development of their practice.
You’ll Learn to
- Identify key regulations and policies around the education of research postgraduates, and clarify roles and responsibilities of supervisors
- Apply regulations and policies in response to a number of case studies/scenarios
- Review video or paper resource and reflect on your own supervisory approach based on this
- Identify key actions from this learning for your own supervisory practice
