How to find a research supervisor
Research supervisors are either staff members of the University, or based in one of the research units or institutions associated with the University.
Supervisors are in high demand and may not be able to respond to your enquiry immediately, so please be patient. Some may already be supervising the maximum number of PhD students they can, and won’t be able to take on any new students.
