How to find the right PhD supervisor
Written by Judy, PhD Civil Engineering
“Finding a PhD supervisor is not only about choosing someone with a strong academic reputation. It is also about understanding yourself, researching carefully and finding someone whose work and supervision style fit the PhD journey you want to build.”
When I applied for my PhD, finding the right research supervisor was one of the most important parts of the process. A supervisor can shape your research direction, academic training and overall PhD experience for the next few years, so it’s worth taking the time to do your research and search for the right supervisor properly.
