Approaching prospective supervisors

• Read through their online profile and familiarise yourself with a couple of their publications.
• Compose a brief email highlighting your awareness of their research and how it aligns with your research interests.
• Indicate your intention to apply for doctoral study and interest in working with them.
• Summarise your research background and who you've previously worked with on research projects.

If you need to write a research proposal, you should run this past your prospective supervisor for discussion before you submit your final application.
