Finding a supervisor
Find a researcher within SAVS or search our current catalogue of higher degree by research projects.
Decided on a research project? An academic will need to assess your eligibility. Be aware that every researcher has a limited capacity to supervise students and securing a position in some research groups can be very competitive.
Send the following to your potential supervisor or to one of our postgraduate coordinators for an initial assessment:
- academic transcripts
- current CV
- explanation of area of interest
Postgraduate coordinators
Once you have emailed the above to your potential supervisor, you can apply for admission and scholarships through the Adelaide Graduate Research School and Admissions and scholarship applications.
Please provide evidence of your academic achievements and, most importantly, details and evidence of any previous research training and experience, including any publications.
