Independent Chair/Examiner Training for Doctoral Supervisors

The workshop is intended to be of benefit to a wide range of Sheffield Hallam staff with an interest in, or responsibility for, research degree student examinations.  It is likely to be of particular interest to inexperienced research degree examiners and inexperienced independent chairs and staff who are considering putting themselves forward for either or both of these roles.

We will also be addressing the changes to vivas necessitated by the Covid-19 Pandemic.

The workshop will be facilitated by Professor Doug Cleaver and Professor Lisa Hopkins with contributions from experienced staff.

This session is for staff only and not open to doctoral students.  Please note that if you are a member of staff currently studying for a doctorate, you will not be eligible to act as an Examiner or Independent Chair until after you have received your award.
