Capacity Building Project for Doctoral Programmes in Pakistan – working with Key Trainers to develop and roll out a Training the Trainers programme

This workshop has been developed to reflect an understanding that all doctoral programmes depend both on superb systems and on committed and well-trained faculty and administrators to manage doctoral programmes effectively. The workshop, although focussing on developing a training programme for supervisors, sets that programme firmly within a framework of national and local systems to develop and support doctoral programmes.
