Supervision

You will be assigned a supervisor when you enter the programme. In addition, when you are preparing your materials for consideration for upgrading from MPhil to PhD student status, you will be assigned two assessors who will read that material and judge your progress. Normally one of those two will then continue to act as your second supervisor, who will be available to you for informed consultations and who is prepared to take over supervision if, for example, your supervisor takes sabbatical leave. Some students make formal arrangements for dual supervision, either with two members of the Department of Information Systems or with someone from another department.
