FIVE academic staff from the University of Winchester have become nationally accredited research supervisors.
They successfully applied to the UK Council of Graduate Education (UKCGE) for recognition as Research Supervisors for postgraduate students.
The group are the first at Winchester to gain this accreditation.
Dr Carlos De Luna, Head of the Doctoral School at Winchester, who was one of the successful applicants, said: “Obtaining national recognition from UKCGE as a Research Supervisor reinforces the University’s commitment to provide transformational education to PGR students by offering them quality teaching during supervisory meetings. I am looking forward to increasing the number of research supervisors at Winchester that hold national recognition from UKCGE.
“Feedback from UKCGE on their applications was very complimentary and demonstrates the excellence and commitment of the university’s academic staff when supervising research students. “
In addition to Dr De Luna, the following academic staff were recognised:
Dr Christina Welch, Reader in Religion and Death Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science
Dr Ellie Woodacre, Reader in Renaissance History in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science
Dr Kerry Ball, Senior Lecturer for the Institute of Education in the Faculty of Education and the Arts
Dr Hazel Brown, Associate Dean in the Faculty of Health and Wellbeing
The UKCGE has also invited some of the recipients to form part of the pool of reviewers for further applications.
