Find a supervisor
Finding the right supervisor for your research is crucial to your graduate research degree. Monash Engineering is home to world-leading academic staff working across a wide range of disciplines who are available to supervise research students.
There are generally three ways to find a supervisor working in your area of interest.
1. By research interest or if known, a researcher's name
2. By research project currently available
This will enable you to find a research project that suits your research interests or through a research centre or hub.

Once you have found a researcher who could supervise your project, send them an email introducing yourself along with key supporting documents, such as your CV and a brief statement explaining how your research interests align with theirs. You may also be requested to attend an interview.
Please do not send bulk emails to multiple researchers.
If a researcher agrees to supervise your project, you can proceed with your formal application.
