Join our next Research Supervisor Series
Our training provision for research supervisors
The University is committed to developing and maintaining the highest standards in doctoral supervision. As part of the *Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) requirements for all postgraduate research (PGR) supervisors to attend supervisory training sessions, we at the Graduate School have put together some of the most relevant topics to support your research supervision.
*Important note: All PGR supervisors (main and co) are expected to attend at least two supervisory training offered by the Graduate School.
Our research supervisor series
This series of seminars and talks is aimed at University staff involved in research supervision of masters and doctoral students. They cover topics that are essential for MQA requirements and also have been highlighted by supervisors as areas where they would like more advice and practice-sharing opportunities.

Case studies involving common and uncommon scenarios will also be highlighted and discussed.
