Code of Good Practice for Postgraduate Studies and Supervision at QUT

The Code of Good Practice is a mechanism for assuring quality in higher degree research training. It is based on a code published by the Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee. The Code is based on the principles that society, the University, faculties and institutes, supervisors and students all have valid expectations from higher degree studies, and that each party has responsibilities. This Code sets out the responsibilities of the University, faculties, institutes, supervisors and candidates.

Elements of these guidelines will be applicable to all postgraduate degrees (and some at undergraduate level) containing a significant research component. Some aspects of the guidelines also apply to coursework components of higher degrees.

Tracking Postgraduate Supervision

This booklet of resource material is designed to assist supervisors and students through the process of postgraduate supervision.  It is based on the assumption that some basic issues underpin effective supervision and that discussion of these issues will lay the foundations for a good working relationship.  At various stages throughout the candidature, some issues may need to be renegotiated and therefore, both supervisor and student are encouraged to review the process at regular intervals or as the need arises.
