Abstract [en]

Doctoral education is more important than ever, and PhD-student enrolment numbers are continually climbing, as is the demand for more graduates with high-level research skills. 

This mobilization can only be realized if there are sufficient well-trained researchers able to take on the challenge of supervision in a world where science is both more important than ever but also debated and mistrusted. But how do you train for supervising an individual, unique project preparing the student for an independent research career? 

At Linnaeus university with roughly 30 different PhD-programs, we have for six years now practiced and developed a 9-month special university-wide course for doctoral supervisors. The program balances between training for an individual unique project but preparing for a broader research career within what is in comparison a highly regulated education. In Sweden there is a requirement of a full four-years institutional financing before admittance, there are exam objectives, and all programs have course parts (including mandatory courses) in the span of 15-120 ECTS. There is also a national requirement for supervisors training for being a main supervisor, all this together constitute the framing of doctorates. 

The program aims to promote border-crossing exchanges of experiences between doctoral supervisors from different disciplines and collaborative learning where doctoral supervisors create a reflective community of practice together with seniors. Applicants for the supervision program are expected to have started an independent research career after their own Viva, published nationally and internationally, to have the necessary required higher education pedagogical training, and have supervision experience at advanced level.
