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 that you believe could supervise your project, send them an email introducing yourself that includes a completed Expression of Interest form (DOCX, 0.18 MB).
Please do not send a bulk email to a number of researchers.
If a researcher agrees to supervise your research project, keep a copy of the email confirming this arrangement as you will need it for your application.
