How to be an effective doctoral supervisor (HBEDS) series

The HBEDS series is designed as an introduction to supervision for all new doctoral supervisors and as a refresher course for experienced supervisors and directors of studies. 

How to be an Effective Doctoral Supervisor Workshop 2: Establishing Roles and Working Practices

Facilitators: Dr Grace Poulter and Dr Amy Cartwright

Description: Session two, entitled Establishing Roles and Working Practices, draws upon the experience of established supervisors and examiners to showcase best practice in doctoral supervision. As well as opening up the discussion on the student-supervisor relationship, this session also outlines the nitty-gritty of record keeping, form filling and explores the university procedures for dealing with the unexpected by examining the implications of the RDC3 forms. HBEDS 2 is essential for all new supervisors, but is also available as a refresher session for experienced supervisors who would be welcome to contribute to the discussion.

All of the 'How to be an Effective Doctoral Supervisor' workshops are highly discursive and  interactive and allow the opportunity to share experiences, explore the assistance available to first-time supervisors and take away practical tools and suggestions.

Please note: This session will take place online, once you have signed up on Eventbrite you will be sent a link the day before the event begins, when registration has closed.

This workshop corresponds to the domains A and B of the Vitae Researcher Development Framework.
