Issues to consider before agreeing to supervise a research student.
Is the student eligible to apply?
Check the criteria governing:
Are adequate resources and facilities available?
You should ensure that appropriate supervision and adequate resources and facilities are available to support an enrolment for at least two years for master's and four years for PhD. Consider whether:
- the intended study is likely to involve extensive and expensive field or laboratory work
- technical and statistical requirements can be met.
Establish a common expectation of the costs and facilities involved in a proposed project before giving approval to an application.
Have you considered IP and confidentiality?
Intellectual property and confidentiality should be considered and discussed, particularly if the project will be undertaken in collaboration with an outside body.
