Provision
The University recognises the crucial role that supervisors play in the experience of PGR students and provides them with opportunities to develop their practice at regular intervals. Pathways of professional development are tailored to supervisors' individual level of experience:
- New supervisors can complete a programme of activities consisting of interactive webinars and asynchronous online learning. This equates to eleven hours of development in total. All activities in the programme can be accessed by staff via the Development for New PGR Supervisors curriculum.
- Experienced supervisors who are new to Sheffield can engage in the two-hour SuperVisionaries webinar, 'PGR Supervision at Sheffield'.
- Experienced colleagues who are not new to Sheffield can participate in two hours of development activity once in every two-year cycle. This provision varies by topic every cycle.
Further information for staff can be found on the internal Development Pathways for PGR Supervisors webpage.
