Supervisory Collaboration

Co-Supervise Research That Matters to Your Organisation

Many organisations hold deep expertise and unique insights that can strengthen doctoral research. Through supervisory collaboration, senior professionals can contribute directly to doctoral projects by serving as industry co-supervisors, subject-matter experts, or practice-research mentors.

Mentorship roles for industry experts
Participation in supervisory panels or advisory committees
Contribution to research workshops, seminars, or review boards

Supervisory collaboration bridges the gap between academic inquiry and professional realities—ensuring that research outcomes are grounded, relevant, and actionable.
