How to Find a Supervisor
If you are contemplating a PhD in the Department of Psychiatry, it is important to identify a researcher who is working in an area of research of mutual interest and willing to be a Supervisor. We, therefore, encourage you to find out about the research groups within the department by visiting the Research page on our website and to conduct other background reading. You should then contact potential supervisors to find out about the possibility of working with them or someone in their group. Applications for a PhD in the Department of Psychiatry will not be accepted without a named Supervisor.
