The obligatory course is offered to all new doctoral supervisors at the Faculty of Arts in order to strengthen and develop their competences as supervisors and provide them with avenues to seek support and mentoring.
This is a process course that takes as its starting point the new doctoral supervisors’ understandings of their role and place in the organization through establishing
Practical tools to facilitate and cope with troublesome areas.
This course can be held in Danish if all participants are able to converse in Danish.
