You can search the current list of graduate school (GSNOCS) projects or identify a topic, funding and potential supervisor independently.
One-to-one contact with practising researchers is the most important component of postgraduate education. We host a large cohort of academic staff at NOCS involved in supervising our PhD students; there are many hundreds more working in related disciplines across the University. You will be assigned a supervisory team who will mentor and guide you in the development of your professional skills and an advisory panel will monitor student progress.
