In this workshop we will:
- Explore how to establish a good relationship from the start and set expectations
- Identify and address common challenges in supervision
- Consider the practicalities such as managing boundaries and establishing ground rules
- Address the pastoral as well as academic role taken on by the supervisor
Participants who have completed this course/session will be able to:
- Confidently conduct a first meeting with a new masters (PGT) supervisee and ensure that ground rules are established, and expectations shared
- Identify strategies for monitoring progress, giving feedback and supporting student through the masters (PGT) project and/or dissertation
- Demonstrate an understanding of how the masters (PGT) supervisory experience can be used to evidence your teaching experience for an Advance HE Fellowship application
Participants should be mindful that our focus is masters (PGT) students and that many aspects of masters (PGT) supervision are unique to masters (PGT) contexts and are less relevant for research students. We offer a session called Developing as a Doctoral Supervisor where issues related to research students are discussed in greater depth.

Early career, mid career, masters (PGT) supervisors.
