Half-day course for doctoral supervisors

    29 March 2023

    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 doctoral studies. Deadline for application 3 May.

    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 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 May 2018.

    When: Course Wednesday 10 May 2023, from 1 pm to 4 pm
    Where: Triple Helix
    The course is given in English.
    Deadline for application: 3 May.
