PG Studies in Project Teams

Models of postgraduate supervision differ from discipline to discipline. In this video a number of PhD students speak about the benefits of undertaking their research within a project team. Collaborative approaches to supervision are common in the Natural Sciences but less so in the Humanities and Social Sciences. This video argues for us to re-think our approaches.
