Academic Workshop: Manage Your Thesis Supervisors

Developing a positive and productive thesis supervisor/candidate relationship is essential to stable and successful postgraduate degrees. It is important for prospective and current HDR candidates to learn to take the lead in the process of building a sound professional relationship with their academic colleagues.
This can be tricky, as there are often power and experience imbalances that can leave thesis candidates overwhelmed and unsure of their rights and responsibilities.
