Welcome to the Supervisors Portal

The task of supervising postgraduate research students requires you to fulfil a number of roles; to be a guide, to mentor, to act as a source of information, to coach, and to inspire. The rewards you can expect in return include your research students mature into professional researchers and develop as individuals. Each student is different and will require different support; your personality and preferences will also influence your supervisory style.

The research supervision website is intended to provide easy access to a range of resources pertinent to supervision: Opportunities for professional development (including support provided by academic departments), guidance on the nature of research supervision and guidance on the University's regulations, code of practice, and other practicalities.
