Comprised of two workshops and an interim reflective activity, this series is designed to introduce supervisors to the experiences of minoritised PGRs, explore how their cultural diversity influences their PhD journey, and understand how to effectively support these candidates.

This workshop is designed to give an overview of neurodiversity and neurodivergent conditions, but focuses particularly on the role of the research supervisor in developing neuroinclusive practice to support the success of postgraduate researchers.

A flexible framework to design or refresh supervisor induction that aligns local policies with national expectations and encourages reflection, discussion, and professional development.

This interactive workshop invites new and experienced PGR supervisors to reflect on how they collaborate within supervisory teams through a combination of plenary discussion, individual reflection, and group work.

This session offers supervisors an analytical lens for reflecting on their role and supervisory approach by introducing theoretical models from doctoral supervision literature to guide their thinking.

This practical workshop explores how research supervisors can provide clear, constructive, and supportive feedback that enhances doctoral researchers’ writing development and confidence through evidence-informed strategies.

This session equips supervisors to apply meta-communication as a tool for clearer communication, ongoing alignment of expectations, and more collaborative supervision.

Designed to bring supervisors together from a range of experiences and disciplinary backgrounds, this programme outlines how to establish and support peer mentoring at your institute.

This session equips supervisors to support PGRs beyond research through reflective models, peer-led discussion, and a flexible template for co-creating inclusive, structured plans tailored to each candidate's journey.

This programme helps supervisors reflect on their practice, share approaches with peers, and work towards formal recognition of supervisory excellence through the Good Supervisory Practice Framework.

This practice-sharing session fosters peer-to-peer dialogue and reflection among research supervisors on supporting international doctoral candidates, including the unique challenges they face and supervisory dynamics.

A flexible series-based programme that brings together colleagues involved in doctoral supervision for a variety of research supervision-related themes. Each seminar focuses on a specific theme and brings together research supervisors and institutional experts.

This intervention offers practical ideas to help supervisor developers deliver engaging professional development workshops aligned with institutional policies and processes.

This interactive session helps supervisors explore coaching and mentoring approaches, practice active listening, and develop strategies to promote independent thinking in postgraduate researchers.

The session equips research supervisors with the tools and techniques to build rapport with PGRs from the outset, establish shared expectations, and sustain productive supervisory relationships.

This session equips supervisors in teams to coordinate effective feedback and to improve the co-authoring process through a combination of brief presentations with plenary discussions and group work.

This supervisor-led, facilitated forum introduces a set of questions to progress group-level peer learning and reflection around supporting candidates for doctoral examination.

This workshop facilitates critical reflection on co-supervisor roles within supervisory teams. It explores benefits, challenges, role clarification, and strategies for negotiating position and recognition within teams.

This interactive workshop invites new and experienced PhD supervisors to reflect on how they enact their supervisory role, and explores models to support more intentional and educationally informed supervision.

This interactive workshop helps research supervisors reflect on how they support doctoral candidates with writing through peer learning, and the introduction of a practical framework for analysing writing issues and developing effective support strategies.

A research-based overview of how supervisors can provide different forms of support to doctoral candidates, and how these approaches influence candidates’ learning, autonomy, and self-efficacy.
