Is this course right for me?

Target Audience: This course is aimed at academic staff with experience of being a ‘first’ supervisor, it is about ensuring familiarity and understanding of the Strathclyde policies on supervising PhD Students.

PLEASE NOTE: This intensive research supervision workshop only meets Strathclyde's requirements for research supervision (i.e. ‘the list’) for individuals with previous, significant research supervision experience.  If you do not have previous experience as a ‘first’ supervisor you should attend the SPARK course ‘Supervising Postgraduate Research’.

This course does not form part of Strathclyde's PgCert SPARK programme and is non-accredited (i.e. non-credit bearing).

This one-day, intensive workshop has been developed around the postgraduate student - and supervisor - journey. The morning looks at the beginning of the supervision process: initial conceptions and expectations around supervision, roles and responsibilities of both supervisor and student, and the rules & regulations of supervisory practice.

In the afternoon we will first consider the middle part of the journey by looking in detail at a number of case studies of supervision drawn from real-life examples, and then move to the end point by considering examination of the thesis and preparing the student for viva.
