Research Supervisor Passport – Supporting Research Projects

Supporting Research Projects

At SHU supervisors have a role to play in advising candidates about their choice of topic and then assisting them to produce a formal research proposal at RF1 stage, develop their ideas at RF2 stage and navigate the ethical approval process. Supervisors are also continuously providing guidance on managing research projects and keeping them on track. Supervisors need to make sure that students develop the subject-specific knowledge and skills necessary for them to undertake their doctoral research projects. In this session we will consider the role of the supervisor in supporting research projects, exploring practices relating to advising on:

• choice of topic/refinement of ideas
• theory, methodology and methods
• the research planning process
• skills development in relation to the project

The session aligns with the UKCGE Good Practice Framework

This session will be delivered via Microsoft Teams.  Please contact the Doctoral School to receive a meeting invitation.
