Postgraduate Research Supervision Award

The Faculty Graduate Schools each award an annual prize of £1,000 in recognition of excellence in research supervision.  The awards are conferred at the relevant School graduation ceremony.   The following staff are eligible for nomination for these awards: 

  • Academic and research staff who have normally participated in the supervision of at least three doctoral students to successful completion and who have not previously won a PGR Supervision award.
  • This includes supervisors of Professional Doctorates as well as PhD degrees.

The aim of the Awards is to raise the profile of supervision of PGR students, and to encourage wider dissemination of good practice across the university, ultimately raising standards across the whole institution. It should be stressed that the aim is to reward the process of good supervision rather than the outcome of good research, which has its own rewards.

Detailed information about these awards, including the criteria and procedure for nomination, can be found on the LATEU website.
