Getting Started with Doctoral Supervision is a uniquely inclusive book in its exploration of the diversity of doctoral candidates, research projects, disciplines, and modes of supervision. It is written for those who are beginning to supervise postgraduate students.

This book is based on the three dimensions of supervision - personal, learning, and institutional - and considers ways of working with individual candidates throughout their doctoral or master's learning journeys. It focuses on motivations, personal engagement, wellbeing, and strategies for addressing difficulties. Seeing supervision as a developmental learning dialogue, this book emphasises enabling candidates' experiences as learners who develop new knowledge through supervisory guidance. It also addresses the changing demands of the institution placed on doctoral study and supervision, broadly conceived, including the construction and presentation of doctoral work - whether as a thesis, creative work, or publications - within realistic timeframes and in approved appropriate forms.
