Highlighting online resources, and helping you navigate and find information on our Doctoral School website
International researcher pages
We are currently developing a series of pages for our international researchers, providing information for new researchers settling in, and highlighting the support available to international researchers. If you would like to share your thoughts and ideas on helpful content for these pages, get in touch with us at researcher-development@sussex.ac.uk
Researcher Development Online
Our series of online resources provide an opportunity to learn and develop key research skills at a time and place that suits you. Covering the content of our workshops, you can work through them at your own pace. Modules are within Study Direct, so you’ll need your ITS username and password to log in. See Researcher Development Online for all further details.
We have a series of resources to support you in developing your relationship with your supervisor:
- Advice about your supervision at Sussex & what to expect from the relationship (see 'You and your supervisors')
- The Good supervision video (how to develop a productive relationship with your supervisor)
- Effective communication online module

Once you've created the record an automatic email will be sent to your supervisor who will confirm the record and add any details they wish to be logged.
You can also add comments on your research progress directly into Sussex Direct, by clicking on the ‘study’ tab at the top of the screen. Select ‘timetable’, and go to ‘events booking’.
