18 December Effective Postgraduate Supervision
Dr Moira Peelo (CELT) with Dr Chris Park
(Director of the Graduate School)
(10.15 - 4.30 t.b.c.)

This workshop is designed for academic staff who are relatively new to the role of PhD supervision. In addition the session may be of interest to more experienced colleagues who have some responsibility for new supervisors, and those who wish to refresh their thinking on supervision with colleagues from other departments and course tutors.
