This workshop equips supervisors with practical strategies to support students in developing critical thinking and strong academic writing, navigating progress reviews, and building peer support networks. It also addresses the complexities of supervising across cultures and at a distance, helping supervisors respond effectively to difference and diversity in the research journey.
This is a course on the Academic Development Programme which is intended for those supervising PGR students.
