This course is based on a series of Cases that provide the opportunity to discuss and reflect, together with other supervisors, on different situations that may arise under the supervision of doctoral students and which require knowledge of regulations and guidelines for third-cycle education. The aim is to give the opportunity to update knowledge of supervisor responsibilities and to get perspective on the supervisor role.
The Faculty Board has decided that all main supervisors should have a formal supervisor education.
Main supervisors who already have supervised doctoral students or have a certificate of supervisor education that is older than five years (2015) when admitting a doctoral student must pass an approved half-day education.
The requirement for a completed and updated supervisor education applies from 2021-03-01.
Target group
This course is for doctoral supervisors at the Faculty of Medicine who have previously supervised doctoral students, but lack formal supervisor education or supervisors who have completed a supervisor education before 2015.
The faculty will decide on priority and selection among applicants in case the number of applicants exceeds the number of available course places. Supervisors who plan the admission of a new doctoral student during the spring semester 2021 will be given priority.
