Option 2: By research interest or if known, a researcher's name.
This will allow you to find all staff who specialise, supervise or publish in the areas you are interested in.
Once you have found a researcher that you believe could supervise your project, send them an email which includes the information below.
- Complete academic transcripts
- CV/Resume
- Research proposal or existing Research Project you are interested in
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.
