SUPERVISOR DEVELOPMENT
What we offer
Times are changing quickly, and the days when supervisors could and would supervise exactly as they were supervised (or in reaction to it), are gone. Research Supervisors and Academic Institutions are recognising that the professionalism that researchers apply to their research activities also needs to apply to their approach to supervision. But what does a professional supervisor do?
All sessions are planned with the development of researchers' skills in mind. Refer to Vitae's Researcher Development Framework to find out more about the kinds of skill areas that are considered important in the UK. https://www.vitae.ac.uk/vitae-publications/rdf-related
