How to Find a Supervisor
Please note that although prospective graduate students may wish to look at the list of faculty members' research interests before they decide to apply, supervisors are not appointed until after the candidate has been accepted and cannot appoint themselves to supervise a project in advance.
The committee is responsible for considering research applications to match appropriate supervisors to research projects.
