Workshops

The purpose of the workshops is to support University of Otago doctoral supervisors. Research unequivocally shows that good supervisory practices are a major factor in determining both the success and quality of the doctoral research experience.

Each workshop aims to provide guidance on enhancing supervisor practices in key aspects and processes of the supervision journey.

External international recognition of doctoral supervision

The University of Otago Graduate Research Committee now endorses doctoral supervisors becoming UK Council for Graduate Education (UKCGE) Recognised Research Supervisors.

Developed by higher education academics for higher education academics, participation in the Research Supervision Recognition Programme (RSRP) promotes personal professional development of research supervisors and supports them in gaining international recognition for their supervision practices.

This research-informed framework elucidates “the wide-ranging, highly complex and demanding set of roles that modern research supervisors must undertake to perform the role effectively” (UKCGE).
