How to Find a Supervisor
You do not need to identify a supervisor or PhD project before submitting your application. During the first year of the programme, students will undertake training and research rotations and have the opportunity to meet potential supervisors across the consortium. Based on these experiences and discussions, students will work with faculty to develop and select their PhD project and supervisory team.
