Good Supervision

Good supervision of doctoral candidates is committed to the doctoral degree regulations, guided by the principles of good scientific practice and furthermore a highly specific working relationship to be negotiated between supervisors and doctoral students.

Below we provide you with some reading recommendations, which we will update occasionally. However, we are not presenting a comprehensive bibliography of advice literature here. It is more important that you get into a productive exchange with your supervisors on how your cooperation could and should be shaped. The reading list may give some suggestions on what you should consider.
