Supervisors
At Z-node we follow a very rigorous UK program standardized and quality controlled by the UK Government. Each PhD consists of coursework (attended face-to-face seminar sessions and on-line-wiki analysis) and professional first and second supervisors supervise each student. A final viva defence and PhD award is made by Plymouth where external examiners are chosen to review the written thesis and attend the oral exam. The resultant PHD Thesis can be found in the libraries of both the ZhdK in Zurich and the University of Plymouth.
In fact the diversity of our supervisors backgrounds reflects the trans-disciplinary practice and theoretical analysis of research conducted inside the z-node program.
