Academic relationships can break down for any number of reasons. Due to the nature of a PhD student/supervisor relationship, this can have a serious impact on your studies. We have a couple of suggestions if you find yourself in this situation.

What can you do?

To raise your initial concerns, you should contact the PhD Academy(Opens in a new tab) in the first instance. They may be able to help you address the issue by discussing your concern with the supervisor in question or helping you change supervisors if possible.

If your concern is of a serious nature, you can consider the Complaints procedure.
