Our research themes and supervisors
We offer our PhD scholars the opportunity to undertake research within one of the following themes. Each theme has a number of ‘topics’ that supervisors who are experts in this area have proposed. Each theme also has two theme leads, who have an overview of the projects and supervisors within a particular theme. Applicants can contact the theme leads to discuss potential PhD proposals. Theme leads will help you identify potential supervisors at one of our universities.
