The aim of the course is to enhance PhD-supervisors' knowledge base of supervision, train their supervision practice and introduce different supervision tools for increasing the outcome of supervision of PhD students. Additionally, the course trains PhD-supervisors to be able to design and give PhD-supervision courses at their home institutions. To meet these demands the course consists of two interrelated workshops (Phase I and Phase II). In Phase I, focus is on processes of supervision. Here, the participants further develop their own supervision practices. In Phase II focus is on helping participants to develop sustainable courses on PhD supervision that can be implemented at the the PhD-supervisors' own institutions.
Participation in Phase I is a pre-requesite for participating in Phase II. A diploma will be issued only for participation in both Phase I and II of the course.
