Appointment of supervisors for doctoral candidates
Research for a doctoral thesis requires a minimum of two supervisors, one of whom will act as the first or primary supervisor with responsibility for candidate supervision on a regular and frequent basis.
At least one supervisor must normally be experienced in research and supervision of candidates to the successful completion of a doctoral level research thesis. They should have extensive knowledge of and expertise in, the general field of research nominated by the candidate.
Where supervisors do not have the experience of supervising a doctoral thesis to completion an approved mentor is appointed to the supervisory team.
Candidates and primary supervisors are expected to complete a Research Supervision Agreement.
To appoint a supervisor or make changes to the supervision team use the Form D6: Supervisor Changes.
