Supervisors have an extremely important role within Imperial, not only in terms of supporting research student progression throughout their academic studies, but also in terms of the overall student experience and research culture.
Imperial’s Policy on Research Degree Supervision [pdf] offers an overview of the university’s expectation in research degree supervision, its key principles, and other matters such as eligibility to supervise, roles and changes in supervisory teams, CPD, number of students per supervisor, and conflict of interest.
