PGR Career development: Expectations on Supervisors

Supervisors can play a very important role in directing their researchers in their career. Whilst PGRs should be referred to the Careers and Employability Service for formal careers advice, the Annual Progress Reviews offer opportunities for PGRs to discuss their career plans and preparation. In these meetings, supervisors and other review panel advisors can encourage PGRs to explore different career options and promote attendance on professional development and career opportunities during the degree.
