Description
The programme supports doctoral supervisors in developing the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding to guide a diverse range of candidates to successful and timely completion. It covers core responsibilities in supporting the research of doctoral candidates, their development as researchers, and establishing effective supervisory relationships.
