The Good Supervision Video

Click here to play sample of the video.

The quality of your relationship with your supervisor or supervisors can be crucial to the progress of your PhD. Should you think of your supervisor as your teacher, your friend, an authority figure or a resource for your use? And what should you do if you are not getting the support you need?

This new video by Angel Productions and Birkbeck, University of London, will help students in all institutions and all disciplines to get the best from their supervisors, and could also help supervisors to develop their skills.

The Good Supervision Video will help doctoral students:

	Understand the supervisor’s role
	Plan and make good use of supervision meetings
	Take the lead in supervision meetings
	Understand differences between disciplines
	Plan the wider work of PhD research
	Establish a realistic timetable for completion on time
	Deal with a ‘busy’ supervisor
	Understand the UK system if you are from overseas
	Know what supervisors should and should not expect of you
	Keep records of supervision meetings
	Understand the limits of the supervisor’s role

	Ask for the feedback you need
	Understand upgrading, transfer and monitoring procedures
	Deal with setbacks and disappointments

It can also help preparing staff to take on the role of supervisor for the first time and raise issues for discussion with experienced supervisors.

Based on specially scripted drama scenarios and interviews with experienced supervisors, The Good Supervision Video was produced with advice from Professor John Wakeford, Director of the Missenden Centre for the Development of Higher Education.

The Good Supervision Video is available for sale to universities, colleges and other organisations. For a one-off payment, your institution can be licensed to make the video available to all your registered students and staff either in DVD format or via your intranet or other secure digital platform.
