I couldn’t agree more on the topic of mandatory training for supervisors (and not because we’ve had that here for as long as I remember): it provides a basic level of assurance and support to new supervisors of our postgraduate researchers.

(The full report also points to the value of team supervision and the time pressure supervisors are feeling which I could also comment on at length!)

WonkheThere’s new research on how PGR students are supervisedThere’s notably no clear regulation on the postgraduate research (PGRs) student experience. PGRs in England are supposed to be “covered” by the Office for Students’ B conditions - but there isn’t anything specific to their experience and they are silent on supervision.
