Profile of a good supervisor
Your supervisor is responsible for guiding you through the process of researching your PhD. Only professors who have the status of Independent Academic Personnel (ZAP) at VUB are eligible as PhD supervisor. If, during your PhD, you have a teaching assignment as an assistant, the head of that department need not necessarily be the supervisor of your research. Nor does the supervisor of your master's thesis become the supervisor of your PhD. As a PhD student, you also offer support to your supervisor.
The Research Council has developed a 'profile of a good supervisor' with a clear overview of the expectations regarding both parties.
