List of supervisors can be found on the “How to Apply” page or Faculty pages in each University.
We recommend that you read about the research projects and activities of institutes and centres that you plan to work with so as to ensure that your research interests align with the supervisor and college.
The purpose of a research proposal is for the university to assess your proposed field of study and identify an appropriate supervision team for you. It should show to the school that you have a clear vision of what you wish to investigate and why it is an interesting topic.
Each university will have different requirements, some may require you to include the equipment you wish to use or research techniques.
Do note that this may not be the final topic that you will be working on as your supervisor may suggest a different project.
Upon submission of the application, there may be additional requirements such as an interview with University staff or industry partners.
If it is successful, you will receive an offer letter.
However, if it is unsuccessful, we can recommend you to other pathways to research.
AUG will help you with this process including assisting you to accept the offer and complimentary application for Student Visa.*
