Research Projects & Supervisors

For Research courses only; the first question on the GRADSAF application is course selection: for research applicants this means specifying the project(s) or supervisors(s) you wish to work for.

Choosing a project

To choose a project identify a topic and one or more supervisors in our department you want to work with.

Supervisors: All our supervisors and their research projects are available here: Projects

Please add a supervisor from the Department on your application form, without this we can’t process your application.

Taught MPhil courses only have one admit term, October of each year. If you are successful in securing a place, students will be given a list of potential projects and supervisors to choose from, and they will also be given the option to develop a student-initiated project with a supervisor. Same process to apply for funding, ticking relevant boxes and keeping to deadlines.
