Find an academic unit
- Your first step is to determine your preferred field of study, and find the Faculty or Department which will best meet your requirements.
- Your application will only be accepted if the University is satisfied it can provide you with a supervisor with appropriate expertise.
- You are encouraged to identify potential supervisors by visiting the staff pages of each Faculty and identifying a supervisor who matches your area of research interest.
- You may contact a potential supervisor to discuss your project prior to applying for admission.
Find a research topic
You should discuss with the Head of Academic Unit, Postgraduate Co-ordinator or prospective supervisor a broad plan for your research topic. Typically as your research progresses your thesis topic will become better defined. You are required to nominate a working title at the beginning of your enrolment but may change this at any time.

For example, if you receive an offer of admission in late March and enrol in April your enrolment will be considered to have started at the beginning of Autumn session in late February.
