PhD or Doctoral Supervision

All our PG Researchers are responsible for the planning, development, progression, and completion of their degree. But key to that success is the advice and guidance you receive from colleagues across Warwick and most importantly your supervisory team. Supervisory support will look different according to discipline and research; whether you are in a big lab or in archives; on a ethnographic fieldwork study or in a big stage production; but we have standards and regulations that are there to support you, whatever your research.

To get the best from your time with your supervisor/s and make sure that you are keeping your research on track, we have gathered resources to support you.

Remember if you want to clarify anything about your supervision or your PG research life; speak first to your supervisor or your Department's Director of Graduate Studies. If you're still unsure you are always welcome to contact us in the Doctoral College.
