To ensure the best academic supervision, you as a PhD student are assigned two supervisors: a principal supervisor and a co-supervisor. In connection with your enrolment, the Head of PhD School appoints a principal supervisor and a co-supervisor on the recommendation of the Head of Department.
If you are a PhD student under the Industrial PhD scheme, a principal supervisor must be appointed from the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences, as well as a co-supervisor who is affiliated with the company where you are employed. The co-supervisor must have business-relevant research experience within the subject area in question.
The Head of PhD School can give dispensation from the requirement for two supervisors if there are academic reasons for this.
