Finding a supervisor

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
Once you have emailed the above to your potential supervisor, you can apply for admission and scholarships through the Adelaide Graduate Research School.
How to apply
Scholarships
Scholarships for research degrees are available to international and domestic students. Increase your chances of gaining a scholarship by having an established list of published research papers in internationally recognised peer-reviewed journals.
