Meeting your supervisor for the first time
Doctoral Researchers should discuss how they wish they wish to work with their supervisor at their initial meeting.
Before your first supervisor meeting, you are encouraged to look at the New Doctoral Researcher Induction checklist so you can discuss any elements you are unsure about with your supervisor.
For your first meeting with your supervisors, you should use the Supervisory Partnerships Expectations Form. The form is intended as a prompt for honest, supportive discussion between the Doctoral Researcher and the supervisory team.
The topics in the form should be discussed and a short note made for each point to capture the agreement reached between the supervisory team and the Doctoral Researcher. Once completed, the form should be uploaded to Co-Tutor by the Primary Supervisor.
