After the PLE sessions, you start with the Professional Development phase of your program. To coach you during this part of the program, you need a supervisor. You are responsible for finding and choosing an academic supervisor, but the Honors Academy and your Graduate Program Director might be able to help you with this.
The supervisor helps you with the Professional Development part. You are responsible for shaping your own individual program, but the supervisor can support you with this search/developing phase. The supervisor is also involved in the assessment interview. Depending on the chosen project/activit, the students need and agreements made, the guidance from the supervisor could be more or less intensive. The basis for supervision is the Personal Development Plan (PDP) of the student. Supervisor and student have meetings about this PDP and the supervisor gives the student feedback on this plan. Through these meetings the process will be monitored. NOTE: Your supervisor needs to be a (TU/e) scientific staff member who has been appointed as an examiner for the Master program.
