How to Find a Suitable Thesis Supervisor

Please refrain from sending general email enquiries about thesis supervision. Instead, we recommend following the steps below to identify and approach a suitable supervisor.

  1. Develop an initial research idea. Consider which research question or topic you would like to explore in your thesis.

  2. Familiarise yourself with staff members' research interests. Compare your initial idea with the research areas and academic interests of staff authorised to examine theses. Further information is available on the respective staff profile pages.

  3. Outline your proposed approach. Prepare an initial plan of the main stages of your thesis and their approximate timeline. This will help you clarify your project and plan the next steps.

  4. Discuss potential supervision during office hours. Contact a staff member whose research interests align with your proposed topic. Use their office hours to discuss whether they would be able to supervise your thesis.
