How to Find a Supervisor
Each student is allocated a named supervisor, who will meet regularly with the student to discuss progress and provide feedback and support as required. Students are encouraged to consider potential supervisors during the application process. However, supervisors will be formally allocated after admissions have closed during the first weeks of the course. A supervisor is not expected to be in place at the beginning of the programme.
