Epigeum, in collaboration with expert advisors, authors, reviewers and partner institutions, including Monash University have launched the second edition of Supervising Doctoral Studies. The modules offer comprehensive, flexible and engaging training in the core principles and practices of doctoral supervision to equip both new and more experienced supervisors to support doctoral candidates’ development into independent researchers.
The modules provide guidance in the most effective and up-to-date supervisory techniques, using video interviews, case studies, and thought-provoking scenarios and activities to highlight best practice and to encourage supervisors to reflect on their own approach. The modules cover supervisors’ core responsibilities in supporting candidates’ research, their development as researchers, and establishing effective supervisory relationships. This edition also addresses new and emerging developments in the field ensuring that supervisors maintain a current knowledge of the continually-changing context in which they work, and are able to navigate both academic and non-academic responsibilities with confidence.
To access any of the online modules listed below, click on the activity title. You will be directed to myDevelopment to ‘request’ the training.

You may access this module at any time from the Active tab and your progress will be recorded within the system.
