New Smart Project Supervisor Allocation System

Matches Every Student With The Right Supervisor.

SupervisorSync matches every final-year student with the supervisor best suited to their project research — respecting workloads, following your department's rules, and leaving the final say with your staff.

Why departments switch

Manual allocation takes weeks, and nobody can explain the result.

01

Uneven workloads

Well-known supervisors end up with too many students while others have few. SupervisorSync enforces each supervisor's limit on every allocation.

02

Matches that don't fit

Students get whoever has space rather than whoever knows their field. Every pairing is scored on research fit before anyone is assigned.

03

No paper trail

Spreadsheets and chat groups leave no record. Allocations, topic approvals and changes are logged, with who made them and why.

How it works

From eligible list to confirmed supervisor

Three steps, one session. Your team does the first; SupervisorSync handles the rest.

1Department admin

Upload the session's lists

Add eligible students and supervisors individually or from a CSV or Excel file. Supervisors receive their login by email.

2Students

Students register

Only students on the list can sign up. They verify their email, pay the session fee and describe their research interests.

3SupervisorSync

Match, review, notify

Every supervisor is ranked for each student. Admins confirm or adjust, and students and supervisors are notified automatically.

Transparent Allocations

Every match comes with its reasons.

Students, supervisors and admins can all see why a pairing was made. No black box, no favouritism.

  • Research fit — how closely a supervisor's specialisations match the student's interests.
  • Track record — how similar past pairings have gone.
  • Capacity — how much room the supervisor has left this session.

FAQ

Common questions

Who can register?

Only students on their department's eligible list for the current session. Supervisors and department admins don't self-register — their accounts are created for them, and they set their own password on first sign-in.

What does it cost the institution?

Nothing. Students pay a per-session fee through the built-in checkout. There's no licence or setup fee for the institution.

Can staff override a match?

Yes. Department admins can allocate or reassign any student at any time. Each change is logged with a reason, and the student and supervisors involved are notified.

What if every suitable supervisor is full?

The student joins a waitlist and is allocated automatically as soon as a suitable supervisor has room.

How are students repeating the year handled?

When a new session starts, admins add returning students to the new list. They keep their existing login and begin the session unassigned, like everyone else.
