摘要：AbstractWith this paper, the author has one main objective: to collate mature students’ perspectives, gathered through an in-depth focus group, on the ideal competences doctoral supervisor should have, while simultaneously highlighting their own experiences regarding their supervisors’ difficulties. The pertinence of this subject is grounded on two main reasons. On the one hand, a hot reality may be verified in different parts of the globe: mature students engaging in research-based PhDs. On the other hand, small research has been addressing the ideal profile doctoral supervisors should have when supervising mature students, and the difficulties they usually demonstrate.
