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 1: Recruiting and Inducting your Research Student

Facilitators: Dr Grace Poulter

Description: Session 1 consists of an introduction to the Graduate School and Researcher Development provision at GCU and considers the responsibilities of the Academic Schools, supervisors and students at the outset of the doctoral journey. We explore the options for supervisory support, including the role of the supervisor-mentor as well as the initial process and procedures (RDC Forms) required in the first year of the PhD journey. HBEDS 1 is essential for all new supervisors.

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.

This workshop corresponds to domain B of the Vitae Researcher Development Framework.
