Supervisors and Examiners
Supervisors
To enhance the experience of the postgraduate student, CPUT often appoints additional supervisors, some of whom may not be employed by the university. The appointment of a supervisor is approved by the Higher Degrees Committee (HDC) on behalf of Senate. These external supervisors are required to complete periodic progress reports on their supervision.
