How to Resolve Conflicts with Your Supervisor

No matter where you are in your PhD journey—whether you’ve just begun or you’re nearing submission—you will inevitably face moments when you and your supervisor do not fully agree. This is completely normal. But if these disagreements aren’t addressed early and constructively, they can grow into bigger challenges that affect your progress and wellbeing.

To help you navigate these situations effectively, we are hosting our final IEEE Student Branch event of the year.

We are delighted to welcome Dr Roberto Ferrero, PGR Director of the Department of Electrical Engineering & Electronics, who will share his experience as supervisor and PGR Director and walk us through practical, proven strategies for managing and resolving supervisor–student conflicts.
