Are you an established research degree supervisor? Or are you new to supervising research degree students?
Would you like your supervisory practice acknowledged at national level and join a growing number of BU staff who have gained recognition?
The UK Council for Graduate Education (UKCGE) has developed the Good Supervisory Practice Framework (GSPF) and the Research Supervision Recognition Programme to allow established supervisors to gain recognition for this challenging, but rewarding, role.
- Acknowledging the Complexity of Your Role
- Identify your professional development needs
- Recognition of your expertise by a national body
- Recognition of your developing knowledge by a national body
