Here are some steps to help in your search for a supervisor:1。 Look on the University website at the homepages of academic staff and their publications to get a sense of their research interests。
You should be looking for someone who does research that interests you, and is in an area in which you have sufficient educational background to do research at the doctoral level。
You should be able to find bibliographic information on staff and their publications from their staff profiles on faculty websites, from the departmental publication list, by searching the internet, or by searching publication databases。
2。 Look at some masters and PhD theses in your areas of interest。 You can find out a lot about a possible supervisor by looking at theses written by their students, and you may be able to find an online copy of some of these works。
Your goal should be to get a sense of the standard of research that an individual is expected to achieve in 3-4 years of full-time work as a PhD student。
3。 Having identified a prospective main supervisor, send them a letter or email explaining:why you are contacting them？ what relevant coursework you have taken (you should attach a complete academic record) your prior research experience (you may include copies of course work such as essays, theses/dissertations, or project reports)。
You could also suggest a specific topic for your thesis research, but this isn't always necessary upon first contact。
Supervisors vary in their preferences and practices。 Some supervisors expect their students to propose something, while others give general suggestions and then expect the student to come up with a detailed proposal。
Some supervisors may suggest a specific topic。4。 Your supervisor will want to be assured that your topic is well-defined, that the project will make an original contribution to knowledge or understanding, and that it can be completed successfully within 3-4 years of full-time study。
Both you and your supervisor will want to work on a topic that is of genuine mutual interest。5。
Once you have found a willing supervisor, work with them to prepare your preliminary thesis proposal。
Best wishes in your search for a supervisor!。收起
