Abstract

This research investigates how well supervisors understand the mental health and psychological wellbeing of international doctoral students, and what support supervisors can provide given the seemingly poor levels of psychological wellbeing experienced by this group. Based on the research team’s recent engagements with HE stakeholders in supporting international doctoral students, a focus on the supervisor’s role was strongly endorsed. This research explores this timely but less explored area through in-depth creative interviews with experienced doctoral supervisors from UK HE institutions.
