Appointment of supervisors for postgraduate students
Research for a masters thesis/dissertation normally requires one supervisor. Where a supervisor does not have the experience of supervising a masters thesis or dissertation to completion, an approved mentor is appointed to guide them through the supervision process.
A postgraduate supervisor will normally hold a doctoral or masters degree and/or have an appropriate record of scholarly publications or scholarly activities. They should be experienced in the supervision of students to the successful completion of a masters thesis/dissertation and have sufficient time and access to appropriate resources.
The Associate Dean (Postgraduate) will appoint a supervisory mentor if changes to the supervisory team result in neither supervisor having supervised a masters student to completion.
Students and primary supervisors are expected to complete a Research Supervision Agreement.
To apply for the appointment of supervisors or changes to supervision for a postgraduate candidature use the Form PG2: Variation of Record.
