This paper aims to uncover the reasons behind the high attrition rates (as much as 30-50%) among  doctoral students.

Poor advising and mentoring are consistently cited as reasons for the high attrition rates. Faculty  members play a key role in the persistence and departure of doctoral students. There is also a lot of evidence that advisors greatly impact the quality of student experience, socialization processes,  and post-graduate opportunities.

This is a short but helpful guide that outlines the important principles to keep in mind in order to  maintain high-quality graduate student supervision. This guide highlights the importance of clear and  consistent communication between the graduate student and the supervisor to ensure that the student’s needs are being met regularly. Additionally, this guide focuses on individualized supervisory approaches where the supervisor is aware of the student’s unique needs and learning style and tries to accommodate any personal, cultural, and structural challenges students may face. Finally,  this guide emphasizes the need for having clear and comprehensive beliefs and expectations that can strengthen supervisory abilities.

This report is focused on addressing the most prominent issues that graduate students and supervisors  may face on their journey. This article begins by shedding a light on the ever-increasing mental health  and stress issues associated with graduate studies. Recent studies found that faculty have felt greater  stress in their positions at research-intensive universities in recent years.

This is a quick and easy introductory video that gives students an idea of what they need to know about  graduate supervision. This video serves as a guide for students who are starting their graduate studies  and points them to the right resources for any further inquiry. It is essential to familiarize students with  the people they have to deal with and introduce them to the program resources and positions.

The Code of Practice on Supervision of Graduate Research Students highlights the responsibilities of  supervisors to their students and vice versa. It also outlines the process by which supervisors are  appointed and the general requirements for such a position. The university requires all new and  inexperienced supervisors to be accompanied by more experienced co-supervisors.

This guideline summarizes the roles of the members involved in the supervision of graduate students. It  begins by giving a detailed definition of supervision and explaining who is qualified to supervise  graduate students. It then goes on to outline the responsibilities of the school of graduate studies.

In this video, Professor Siva Muthaly pulls from his own experience as both a former graduate student  and a current postgraduate supervisor to provide viewers with advice for a successful postgraduate  supervision journey.

He begins his speech by discussing the level of ambiguity that the students encounter when they first  start their Ph.D., “they are making this journey on their own.” He then goes on to speak about the issues  that students face while completing their post-graduate education and also goes over some solutions for  said issues.
