Finding your research advisor


The first step in applying for admission to our PhD or MPhil program is to contact the relevant school and discuss your proposed research.  Please complete an Expression of Interest Form and submit this to the administrative officer in the school which best matches your research interests. This form helps the school to match your research interests and experience to available advisors and resources.
