Higher Degree Research Supervisors List

Registered Higher Degree Research Supervisors

To apply to be a research student you will be asked to identify a topic and one or two staff members who have agreed to supervise you. You can look through the Faculty’s webpages to find out about the kinds of research we are doing here. The list below will help you see if there are Faculty who can supervise research in your area of research interest. You are welcome to approach staff members informally via email to discuss your ideas about a research proposal, and their willingness to supervise. However, be aware that the Faculty of Business and Government receives a very large number of enquiries and we are not always able to discuss your topic or agree on supervisors in response to enquiries. We recommend that you submit your full application. This is a requirement for you to get a letter of offer on which your supervisors are named. The Faculty of Business & Government welcomes applications in its areas of research interest – you do not have to name potential supervisors on your application form. When we receive your full application we work hard to find you suitable supervisors and there is no disadvantage if you do not name potential supervisors on your application form.
