We will ensure that a supervisor with appropriate expertise is allocated to a candidate at the time of application. We encourage you to identify potential supervisors who match your area of research interest by visiting the UOW Scholars website. We also advise you make contact with a potential supervisor to discuss your project prior to applying for admission.
