Academic Supervision

Supervision Taught PG

Your Supervisor is there to provide confidential advice and guidance on academic issues, offer pastoral support on personal issues, discuss academic progress and performance, and assist with career and personal development plans. In summary they are there to guide you through your programme, and it is therefore important that you maintain contact with them, and keep them informed of any circumstances which may impact on your academic performance.

For all students registered on taught postgraduate programmes your supervisor will initially be your Programme Leader or a member of the Programme Team. For those students on the Master in Public Health or MSc in Applied Health Research programmes once you have been allocated a dissertation supervisor by the Dissertation Development Committee, then your Dissertation Supervisor will take on the role of your overall Supervisor and there will be a handover outlining your progress to date.

Further details of supervision arrangements for your programme can be found in your Student Handbook.
