Supervision: Supporting candidates through examination

Supervisor support is vital for candidates preparing for the oral examination and for providing guidance following the examination results. The focus is on the role and responsibilities of supervisors throughout the entire examination process. This session will demystify the examination process for your candidates.
You will hear from a guest panel of experienced supervisors and have your questions answered. Key topics include:
- The pre-submission process, including nomination of examiners
