It will cover the main stages of the research process and will focus on common problems using case studies from a range of disciplines. There will also be a session in which participants will be able to raise specific issues relevant to their own situations, linked to an action planning session that will provide them with an opportunity to reflect on how experience gained on the workshop can be applied within their own institutions. More than 900 new and experienced supervisors from a range of disciplines have attended our national programme of workshops over the past six years. The course tutors have extensive and continuing experience of postgraduate research supervision and administration. Our workshops use a combination of presentations and syndicate group work, based on case studies from several universities. The provisional topic areas for the workshop include: * recruitment, selection and induction; * progress monitoring and upgrading procedures; * the supervisor/student relationship; * developing writing, presentation and communication skills; * delegates' choice; * individual action planning. Another important element of the workshop is the shared experience of the participants themselves; and we encourage participants to raise specific issues facing them in their own institutions so that we can provide opportunities to address them during the workshop. ***************** The cost, to include en suite accommodation and all meals: ?495.00 If you would like further information about the above course or you would like to book a place, please contact Amanda Westwell on 01524-593888 or contact us by e-mail on [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
