Browse the projects and supervisors below to find opportunities that match your research interests. We strongly recommend contacting the lead supervisor directly to discuss the project and any questions you may have. Contact details are provided at the bottom of each project description. If you wish to propose your own research idea, you can develop a student-led project in collaboration with a potential supervisor. You should identify and contact a suitable supervisor as early as possible to discuss your proposal and the approval process. The deadline for submissions of student-led projects is 20 October 2026.
