Course description
Supervising scientific research is a complicated process. The nature and possibilities of the student, the supervisor(s), and the type of research determine the best supervision strategy. This short course aims to provide novice supervisors with a number of important (didactic) insights and skills so that they can get off to a good start with the supervision of Master students.
I can immediately apply some concrete elements in practice. I really liked the interaction with the other supervisors and hearing their experiences.
Entrance fee: This course is free for GSLS PhD candidates.
Unfortunately we don’t offer this course for participants not part of the GSLS. Our courses tend to be fully booked by GSLS PhD candidates.
