© 2021 Adrien Miqueu - EPFL has published a guide that sets out the rules of its PhD programs, as well as the rights and responsibilities of PhD students and their thesis supervisors. A large part of a PhD program is the relationship between students and their thesis supervisors. The quality of this relationship has a significant influence on the quality of the work produced and the well-being of everyone involved. Starting a PhD program can be daunting. In addition to their classes and research, students may also be adjusting to different habits and customs, adapting to a new culture, and learning certain unspoken rules. As for supervisors, they have to juggle many different responsibilities at once, are under pressure to deliver results, and must always be familiar with the best practices for overseeing PhD thesis projects. Since 2017, PhD students have been asked to complete a survey each year.
