Supervisor Induction Program

If you wish to be registered as a supervisor of postgraduate research students at the University of Adelaide, in either principal or co-supervisor capacity, you must complete the Supervisor Induction Program.

You can do this by attending one of the regular face-to-face induction workshops, held at the start and in the middle of the year. Additional sessions are convened from time to time, subject to demand. The workshop provides an essential introduction to the policy, practice and strategic context of HDR (ie. higher degree by research) supervision at the University.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

What will you do there?
You will consider the strategic context of research training at the University of Adelaide, and you will become familiar with the important milestones (together with the associated policies, practices and paperwork) of research degrees, and the obligations of supervisors ... Oh, and we'll also talk about the rewards of supervision, and the wonderful contribution it can make to your research career.

How will your attendance be recorded on the Supervisor Register?
To ensure that your attendance is recorded on the Register of Supervisors, you must enrol in advance, and you must sign in and out of the workshop on the day. On request we can also provide you with a certificate of attendance for your own records.

What if you absolutely can't attend at the scheduled time?
If you absolutely are unable to attend the workshop, please contact us. From time to time we put on extra supervisor induction workshops to cater for people who miss out on the scheduled sessions. We may also be able to provide you with material that you can work through independently. We are currently finalising our online version of the program, which will be available in early 2011.
