Seminar 13: “PhD Coordinators/Directors and Supervisors: Roles and Responsibilities”

The support and guidance that PhD students receive from their Supervisory Team and PhD Coordinator/Director is of outmost importance. Further, PhD Coordinators/Directors and Supervisors should know well their Roles and their Responsibilities to the student and the university. This presentation outlines and explains the above in great detail.

The “PhD Coordinators/Directors and Supervisors: Roles and Responsibilities” document, which will be presented during this webinar, is aligned with the Code of Practice and Regulations for Doctoral Programmes, of which Version 5 was approved by the PhD Board and Senate in January 2021. A presentation of the DSO forms, their purpose as well as an explanation as to when and how these are completed and signed will also be provided.
