Level 2 webinars
This interactive webinar provides an opportunity to discuss approaches, and how to address casework relating to postgraduate research and supervision with colleagues from other providers and with OIA staff. Using case scenarios as a prompt for discussion, delegates will be able to explore issues such as, how their provider sets expectations for postgraduate research students, how supervision works at their provider, what steps are undertaken to investigate students’ concerns relating to research and supervision, and the approach the provider takes to address these issues.
Level 2 webinars are interactive discussions which focus on case study examples. Attendees will be sent a number of case studies in advance and will have the opportunity to contribute to a small, facilitated group discussion.

Level 2 webinars provide opportunities to focus on particular areas in more depth and are discussion based.
