Page content

Our supervisors provide the primary source of support for our PhD researchers and this relationship will be critical in ensuring a positive PhD researcher experience and timely completion. These pages aim to provide supervisors with resources and guidance to facilitate the development of a successful PhD Researcher/Supervisor relationship.

As the Doctoral College revises and strengthens the consistency of processes, supervisors need to be able to readily identify their roles and responsibilities in contributing to the relevant stages of the PhD researcher's journey from application to graduation.

PhD Submission and Examination Guidance

This page will provide guidance for supervisors, the examination panels, administrative staff and researchers on submission and examination of the theses for research degrees.

PhD Supervisor Development Programme

PhD Supervisors at Ulster have access to training sessions with the Doctoral College, both for those new to supervision and those who are more established.
