Allocation of your supervisor
You will be allocated a supervisor at the department based on your approved project description or, in Philosophy, description of what you wish to write about. You must submit a project description or a description of what you wish to write about that is linked to your study programme.

Co-supervisor
Co-supervisors are only allocated in a few special cases. Co-supervisors are allocated formally by the department in the same way as the main supervisor. It is the academic community that decides whether a Master’s project needs a co-supervisor on the basis of the project description submitted. In principle, we envisage co-supervisors undertaking one third of the supervision, while the main supervisor does two thirds. However, the distribution of responsibility and the amount of supervision time that two supervisors should spend on a student will always be assessed by the department based on individual needs.
If the supervisory relationship breaks down
If the supervisory relationship is not working satisfactorily for either the student or the supervisor for academic or other reasons, the student or the supervisor can ask to be released from the arrangement. A new supervisor must then be agreed with the department. In such cases, students must contact the student adviser.

Changing your project after it has been approved and a supervisor has been allocated?
- If your project has taken a very different direction during the first 2–3 months of the supervisory relationship, you do not need to apply to change projects.
- If you want to change supervisor or if you have a long time on the original project, you need to seek approval for a new project. The application must include a project description and justification of the change, and be forwarded to the student adviser.
