Finding a supervisor
Your supervisor will support and mentor you throughout your project, ensuring you complete your research and produce a high-quality thesis. The faculty encourages you to consider both a primary and a secondary supervisor, and will ensure you are allocated a supervisor with appropriate expertise.
When you have decided on your preferred field of study, visit areas of supervision to identify supervisors who match your area of research interest. Alternatively, visit the websites of our individual research centres.
You may also view the faculty's staff pages to find out more about the research activities and achievements of your intended supervisors. Then contact your potential supervisors to discuss your project, their availability and to ensure you will be able to establish a strong working relationship. This also assists with the application process, although it does not guarantee an offer in the program.
Alternatively, if you are not sure about your preferred area of research, you can contact the head of postgraduate studies for the school:
| School of Accounting and Finance | School of Economics | School of Management and Marketing |
