Here is some advice to follow before you make the first contact:
- When possible, talk to professors in the academic unit about your field of interest, and find out who would be best able to supervise you.
- Look at individual professor profiles to find out who is accepting students for supervision.
- Read the scholarly publications of potential supervisors to see if their field of research and methods are tailored to the topic or project you have in mind.
- Make a list of questions to ask during the interview and points to be addressed.
- Prepare your first meeting. When meeting with a potential supervisor, make sure to come prepared with as much information as possible about your topic of interest. Find out more best practices on the Find a Supervisor Web page.
