Research at QUT has received world-standard ranking in the 2012 Federal Government's Excellence in Research for Australia ERA assessment. QUT achieved a ranking of world standard or above in more than 85 per cent of its research assessed under the ERA research quality assessment framework.

11. CRICOS No. 00213J a university for the world real R QUT’s Supervision Guidelines QUT has a responsibility to ensure that ALL Higher Degree Research students are provided with a quality experience during their candidature AND high quality supervisors who can provide exceptional guidance and support for their research experience. To ensure that QUT utilises quality supervisors, the following guidelines have been established: 1. All Principal and Associate supervisors are normally QUT academic staff or approved adjuncts; 2. All supervisors, as far as practicable, will be appointed for the duration of candidature;

12. CRICOS No. 00213J a university for the world real R QUT’s Supervision Guidelines 3. All QUT supervisors undertake regular Performance Review with their line supervisor including discussion of their supervisory practices and training; 4. The Head of School is aware of staff performance and manages HDR workload effectively; 5. All supervisors continue to attend professional development courses and training as appropriate; 6. Supervisors new to research supervision are afforded guidance through mentoring; 7. HDR candidates have a minimum of two supervisors (one Principal and one Associate who can undertake Principal duties if required).

13. CRICOS No. 00213J a university for the world real R QUT’s Supervisor Accreditation Performance Supervisors should ensure: a) That HDR Supervisors meet the University’s Research Active Criteria in the previous year to commencement of supervision or that non-compliance with the Research Active definition is not impacting on the quality of supervision provided by the staff member, and b) That all HDR Supervisors are continuing to access appropriate ongoing supervisor training/development and this is included in the PPR documentation and discussed with the PPR Supervisor. Supervisors who meet the two criteria above and who are providing ongoing high quality supervision will be considered to be of good standing.

14. CRICOS No. 00213J a university for the world real R QUT’s Supervisor Accreditation Level 1 HDR Supervisor: An academic or researcher (without a HDR Completion) is able to be a Principal HDR Supervisor where a Mentoring HDR supervisor is appointed as an Associate Supervisor OR an Associate Supervisor in his or her own right. Level 2 HDR Supervisor: Academics and researchers are fully accredited when they have one or more HDR Completions as a Principal or Associate Supervisor and they maintain good standing as a supervisor as assessed by the PPR Supervisor in consultation with the HDR Coordinator and/or Assistant Dean (Research). Level 3 (Mentoring) HDR Supervisor: Academics and researchers are accredited if they have 3 or more HDR completions as a Principal or Associate Supervisor and they maintain good standing as a supervisor as assessed by the PPR Supervisor in consultation with the HDR Coordinator/Director and/or Assistant Dean (Research). To be a Level 3 Mentoring HDR Supervisor academics and researchers must be a member of the College of Mentoring HDR Supervisors.

15. CRICOS No. 00213J a university for the world real R QUT’s Supervisor Workload Allocation Research Degrees Committee has established a supervisor algorithm intended to accommodate variations in student workload which involves the following: Each staff member who is allocated a % supervision is given this % as a base from which the following variations are applied as appropriate: 1. Where the student is part time the % is multiplied by.5 2. Where the student is international the % is multiplied by 1.2 3. Where the supervisor is a mentoring supervisor the % is multiplied by 2. Example: A 60% Principal Supervisor for an international student = 0.72 while and 40% Associate Supervisor for a domestic student = 0.4. 1.0 equates to 2-3 hours per week workload allocation.

16. CRICOS No. 00213J a university for the world real R QUT’s Supervisor Workload Allocation Where a supervisor’s load (based on the algorithm) exceeds the threshold of 6 (12-18 hrs per week workload), the school or faculty PPR manager will need to be convinced that the supervisor can demonstrate their capacity to manage this load, while meeting all of the requirements of QUT’s Code of Good Practice for Higher Degree Research Studies and Supervision, and the QUT Research Training Quality Assurance System (RTQAS). QUT has just developed a 5 week on-line moderated module for developing supervision skills.

17. CRICOS No. 00213J a university for the world real R Collaborative Cohort Model of Supervision Alternative to Apprentice-Master Model Case Study: Burnett (1999) reported on a collaborative learning group of 7 doctoral research students. Role of Students: Attend cohort meetings; discuss all aspects of their research (methods and data analysis), and read and provide verbal and written feedback on draft chapters and articles. Support a Buddy. Role of Supervisor/Cohort Coordinator: Organise and structure meetings, distribute agenda, facilitate meetings, produce cohort newsletters, provide training on editing and providing constructive feedback on academic documents.

18. CRICOS No. 00213J a university for the world real R Collaborative Cohort Model of Supervision Advantages Less Isolating: Forum to discuss issues and concerns More likely to complete: Encouraging structure. Greater breadth of content knowledge. Greater understanding and knowledge of research design and methods. Acquired writing, editing and critiquing skills. Decreased workload for supervisors. Quality of thesis and journal articles enhanced.
