Complementary supervisor training course (Next opportunity for 2024 to be announced)
Organizer: Office for Science and Technology
A complementary supervisor training course (two half-days and a few assignments) is offered to doctoral supervisors who have already undergone extensive supervisor training at another university, and only need to complement with knowledge and awareness about supervision at Uppsala university and especially at our faculty.
We will critically reflect on local guidelines and regulations as well as disciplinary culture, and their effect on doctoral education. The individual study plan (ISP) used at Teknat will be treated both as a legal document and a tool for planning and follow-up of studies, and reflection over the development. Moreover, the aims and purposes of doctoral education at the faculty will be discussed.
For newly appointed main and assistant supervisors, the 3-weeks-course given by central UU is recommended.
Physical presence is compulsory, location will be announced later on.
The course is arranged as a cooperation between the Council for Educational Development at the Faculty of Science and Technology and senior educational officer at the Faculty Office.
Please contact Emmaline Ek if you have any questions or wish to make a preliminary application for the course.
