Finding Your Supervisor

Students studying together

To find a supervisor for your sub-doctoral research project/course, start by contacting your school/department’s Graduate Adviser. The Graduate Adviser will inform you of their school/department’s specific process to secure a supervisor. You can find a list of Graduate Advisers listed below.

Once you have secured your supervisor, complete the Faculty of Science Research Supervision – Expression of Interest form for your specific school/department where you will upload your confirmation of supervisor email or form to admissions.

Although completion of this process does not guarantee admission, you cannot be admitted until this process is completed.
