Join our next Research Supervisor Series
Support 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 the Graduate School have put together some of the most relevant topics to support your research supervision.
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.
