Academic Staff

What is this course about?

This course is essential for academic staff working in Arts & Humanities who are to become supervisors of postgraduate degrees and have not previously served in this capacity, either at Huddersfield or elsewhere.

This is Part Two of a two-part programme and is School-based - tailored and conducted by colleagues within their respective Schools to address the specific contexts of PGRs in their disciplines. (part 1 is delivered centrally). The course covers regulations, processes, and practicalities of managing supervision and supporting PGRs, and navigating key stages of the the research degree, offering ample opportunities for participant discussion and questions to the programme team.

Attendance on both parts is mandatory for staff to be confirmed as eligible to supervise. Please also book a place on: Supervision Fundamentals For New Supervisors of Postgraduate Research Degrees (Part 1 Centralised training).

Details of any pre-course/programme requirements

Participants are expected to have completed Part 1: Centralised Supervision Training prior to attending this School-based session.

However, we recognise that scheduling constraints may vary; therefore, completion of Part 1 may also take place after this course, provided that both components are completed in full before supervising a postgraduate researcher in practice.
