Nominations with more detail are more likely to be successful. Be mindful if you are using generative AI (such as ChatGPT) in drafting your application. In our experience, generated responses lack detail or authenticity and are poorly marked against the assessment criteria.
Undertaking a research project is an intense experience. There are no short cuts on a research project - but there are plenty of rough patches, detours, and blockages. A supportive supervisor can really see you through. But more than that, a supportive supervisor is the one who introduces you to the academy and welcomes you into the community of scholars.
This award is a shout out to them and everything they do. Supervision requires a special set of skills and it happens across course levels: HDR, Postgradute Coursework, Honours, and Bachelors. We want to celebrate all the supervisors who have made a difference.
In your statement of support below, please mention the topic or discipline in which you were supervised.
HDR students can also nominate your supervisor for the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in HDR Supervision.
