Our Research
We offer our PhD scholars the opportunity to undertake research across five interlinked discovery themes.
Each theme has a number of projects that supervisors who are experts in this area have proposed. Each theme is led by a theme lead, who has an overview of the projects and supervisors within a particular theme.
Applicants can contact the theme leads to discuss potential PhD applications. Theme leads will help you identify potential supervisors at one of our universities.
