Managing Your Supervisor Relationship

Event information

Registration

The supervision relationship is your single most important professional relationship during your PhD. The literature consistently shows that supervision quality is the primary driver of PhD completion, wellbeing, and satisfaction. Yet candidates often feel they have little control over the relationship.

From setting expectations and running effective meetings, to dealing with difficult conversations and building a support network beyond your supervisor, this session offers ideas and approaches you can apply immediately — whatever stage of your PhD you are at.
