Supervision

Your supervisory committee will play a crucial role in guiding you through your studies and research. We encourage you to build a strong relationship with your committee members, who will provide you with feedback and mentorship throughout your journey.

You are required to set up your Supervisory Committee in the second term of your program. This Committee will mentor you and help you develop a study program leading to a degree. Your Supervisory Committee reports your progress annually to the SEE Graduate Program Committee. You can consult with your Supervisory Committee regularly.

Your Supervisory Committee should include members that complement each other in relation to your experience and areas of research and expertise. Be sure to consult your supervisor to decide the composition of your Supervisory Committee.

Alongside your supervisor or co-supervisors, your Supervisory Committee must consist of at least one additional member who is a faculty, adjunct professor, or research associate at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV. There is also a possibility of having a suitably qualified individual from inside or outside ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV serve as an additional committee member.

More information and regulations on supervisory committees can be found in Section 1.6 of the Graduate General Regulations.
