A deep approach to doctoral supervision
Would you like to broaden your mind as a research supervisor? Do you think that you have been at it for quite some time now supervising doctoral students? Would you like to get familiarized with tools that are really effective? Any desire to take on a new approach to your supervision? If so, taking a set of seminars entitled “A Deep Approach to Doctoral Supervision” could be recommended.

- Docent
- Research supervisor
Topic
- Pedagogy
About the seminar
The Division for Quality Enhancement at Uppsala University, Academic Teaching and Learning offers a series of six independent seminars running each study year.
Target Group
This series of seminars targets experienced doctoral supervisors (above all, associate profes-sors/docents and full professors) but also doctoral supervisors who have taken “Supervising Doctoral Students”, as well as some shorter doctoral supervisor training course offered at Faculty level.
Extent and Teaching Qualifications
Every seminar is given independently and corresponds to half-a-day on campus and half-a-day´s work off-campus (e.g., reading an article or part of a book in preparation for the seminar).
That said, it will be possible for you to single out and take any seminar of interest at your own convenience, in due course of time.
A Certificate of Completion will be issued when a participant has taken a total of five independent seminars.
This set of seminars aims at partly giving international and national perspectives on the doctoral supervisor´s views of supervision and research education, partly making it possible for particip-ants from different subject areas, faculties and departments to share interdisciplinary ideas of doctoral supervision, partly promoting the professional development of the doctoral supervisor, including the ability to make self-reflections.
Teaching and Learning Activities
Presentations by invited speakers (subject-specific experts) in combination with group discussions, exercises and peer conversations between and among the participants. The seminars are going to facilitate active participation.
