Abstract

This chapter provides reflections in terms of the nature and type of support postgraduate students (especially doctoral) need to be provided with around personal, professional and career development. In doing so, both empirical and theoretical studies, and colleagues’ scholarly reflections, are invoked, carefully exploring the different support systems that postgraduate students are provided with by examining the synergistic and symbiotic relation between supervisor and the supervised in higher education. The main aim of this chapter is to establish ways in which graduate students can be provided with the much-required competencies for them to develop skills that transcend individual and academic disciplines. Arguments regarding these competences are around issues related to communication, leadership, teaching and instruction, professional adaptability and generally, self-awareness.
