Highlighting Supervision

The 6th Edition of the essential Research Supervisor’s Bibliography contains the key references in the literature on research supervision.

A bibliography of available research into doctoral supervision at a distance

Traditionally doctoral candidates studied on campus and, fieldwork apart, were in close proximity to supervisors throughout their studies. But in recent years there has been a rapid growth in the numbers of students undertaking most of their studies off-‐campus, often at a very considerable distance from the institution 

In this publication, the UKCGE asked a series of experts in the field of doctoral education to contribute short articles on various issues in doctoral supervision

Supervision is crucial in determining the quality of the experience of research students and the chances of their completing on time. It has long been recognised that appropriate criteria are needed to determine eligibility to supervise. In many countries, these are specified at national level, but in the UK, since 1992, it has been left up to institutions.
