Newcastle University PGR Supervisor Development Programme
The PGR Supervisor Development Programme 2026-27
The PGR Supervisor Development Programme is a tailored programme providing essential training and professional development for all colleagues involved in postgraduate research supervision at Newcastle University. The programme offers two pathways: one for new Supervisors and colleagues who are new to Newcastle University, and a refresh pathway for experienced Supervisors.
Each pathway includes mandatory workshops, alongside complementary workshops that provide further opportunities for continued professional development. Details of each pathway are provided below.
Participation in the programme is mandatory for all colleagues who wish to undertake PGR supervision. Current and experienced supervisors are required to complete the refresh pathway every five years to ensure they remain up to date with relevant developments, changes, and good practice.
