Research Degrees
PhD Applications
Prior to submission of your on-line application we suggest you browse the people and research pages on this website to determine whether there is a potential supervisor within IGH who shares similar interests to you. You can also send a short research proposal and CV to Therese Hesketh who can help you identify a potential supervisor. If you have identified a potential supervisor already you may contact them directly.
Once a potential supervisor has been identified we may interview you either in person or over the phone. It is expected that your research ideas will change over the first year of your PhD but you are required to submit a proposal as part of the application process.
