led by Professor Adina Dudau, University of Glasgow
This is an interactive session designed to help doctoral candidates navigate and make the most of their supervision experience. No prior knowledge is required—just a willingness to reflect on and engage with strategies for fostering an effective supervisory relationship. Participants will explore key aspects of PhD supervision, including how to seek and use feedback effectively, maintain research progress, and communicate expectations with their supervisor. The session will also cover strategies for personal, professional, and career development, preparing for final examination, and disseminating research. Through a mix of content, discussion, case studies, and practical toolkits, attendees will develop actionable approaches to strengthen their supervision experience and take greater ownership of their PhD journey.
