Supervision and the Confirmation and Supervisory Panel
Students are supervised solely or jointly by academic members of the School. Additionally, a Confirmation and Supervisory Panel (CSP) is set up within 6 weeks of commencement that oversees this process – it is the joint responsibility of the student and supervisor(s) to ensure this occurs.
It should be stressed that "The principal aim of the CSP will be to support the student in his or her endeavour to complete a high quality research thesis in a timely fashion."
Melbourne School of Graduate Research Confirmation Form is sent directly to the student six months prior to confirmation due date. Must be completed between 9 and 12 months after commencement.
