Find A Supervisor

Finding a supervisor for your PhD

Guidance on finding a supervisor

There are several routes to finding a PhD supervisor at the University of Warwick, and searching for a supervisor will look different depending on the opportunity you are applying for.

You do not need to find a supervisor if you are applying for a pre-designed project which has a supervisor already in place.

For all other opportunities, this page should help you get started with finding your supervisor.

Already confident in your next steps? Skip to our list of department staff directories to identify potential supervisors in your department.
