Lyceum College is seeking experienced, research-competent, and academically rigorous proficient individuals to serve as Research Supervisors and Examiners within our Postgraduate Diploma in Traffic Policing qualification. This role forms a critical component of the programme’s academic and research ecosystem, ensuring the development of high-quality postgraduate research that is methodologically sound, contextually relevant, and aligned with national and institutional expectations.

The Research Supervisor is responsible for guiding, mentoring, and academically supporting postgraduate candidates throughout the research process. This includes assisting students with topic refinement, proposal development, methodological design, data interpretation, academic writing, ethical considerations, and the production of a final research report that meets postgraduate standards.

Supervisors are further expected to evaluate student progress, provide timely and constructive feedback, support academic integrity, and ensure that all submissions are of an appropriate scholarly standard. Where appointed as Research Examiners, individuals will independently assess completed research reports, ensuring fairness, objectivity, and alignment with approved assessment criteria.

In fulfilling these responsibilities, Research Supervisors and Examiners must ensure that all supervision, assessment, and research-related practices comply with the standards and expectations of all relevant institutional policies, ethical guidelines, and academic quality assurance frameworks.

This role is integral to maintaining the academic integrity, relevance, and research excellence of the Postgraduate Diploma in Traffic Policing and to supporting student success at a postgraduate level.
