It is mandatory for all new main supervisors (experience up to four PhD students) at Faculty of Health to complete the supervisor course "PhD Supervision". The course must be completed within two years from your first supervisor obligations.

The course is not mandatory if:

• You have completed a similar supervisor course (basic)
• Your supervisor experience counts more than 4 PhD students

However, we do welcome all main supervisors at the course. The main supervisor tasks include both project specific tasks and a responsibility for the entire PhD programme. Therefore, we expect the main supervisor to be familiar with the Danish PhD Order ("Ph.d.-bekendtgørelsen"), and to know the faculty specific regulations regarding PhD education - elements that will be taught at the course "PhD Supervision".

The workload of full participation in the course is about 60 hours including three days of participation (the three modules), participation in group work, individual reading and out-of-class activities, and a concluding assignment.

Approval of the course participation presupposes full participation, participation in group work, and handing in a concluding assignment.

A maximum of 20% absence in the course modules due to own or child’s illness or the like is acceptable.
