Scholarships
The first step in obtaining a research scholarship is to discuss PhD projects with potential CRSI PhD supervisors. You can do this either by initially approaching the Centre's Manager for advice on potential supervisors or by directly approaching the supervisors themselves. Current supervisors available are:
- Dr Amanda Wise
- Dr Selvaraj Velayutham
Academic staff should be contacted before completing an application, to discuss a proposed topic of research and a research proposal.
