A healthy relationship with your academic supervisor(s) is one of the most important factors in your academic success. Despite this, many students and researchers do not know what to expect of their supervisor or may be unsure of their supervisor’s expectations of them. There are often challenges around maintaining good communication and setting healthy boundaries. Drawing on our combined decade in higher education, extensive research, and numerous consultations with academic supervisors and students, we’ve created a comprehensive lecture series on how to create and maintain a healthy relationship with your supervisor.
Whether you’re just thinking of applying for grad school, you’ve just begun, or you’re nearing the end of your academic career, you’ll find the content of this course to be informative and practical. The course has five modules, including understanding the importance of supervisory relationships; understanding expectations- both your own and those of your supervisor; developing good communication techniques; and how to set and keep healthy boundaries.
The course includes downloadable resources that you can use in your supervisory meetings, interactive activities, and a certificate of completion. By the time you finish the course, you’ll be much more confident in ways to curate and maintain a healthy and productive relationship with your supervisor to ensure your academic experience is as positive as possible.
Who this course is for:
- Studies show that a positive supervisory relationship is one of the most significant factors in a student’s success and wellbeing in their programme of study/research. Graduate and postgraduate students are often unprepared for how to navigate complex relationships with their academic supervisor(s), resulting in them feeling discouraged or overwhelmed. This course aims to overcome this challenge by equipping you with research-informed and practical strategies for managing expectations of the student-supervisor role, developing good communication skills, and setting healthy boundaries.
