Each student receives guidance from two supervisors who provide regular feedback on written work and ensure steady progress. We believe writing serves as a vital tool for insight and innovation, so you'll begin producing work immediately. During your first year, you'll develop your research proposal and outline with supervisory support. In subsequent years, you'll gain independence while receiving mentorship on conference presentations and publication strategies.
