Research Student Supervisors

MPhil/PhD Degrees

This page lists current supervisors, with links to their research profiles. These give an idea of the key areas of research that are covered at the RCA. If there is a particular member of staff that you are interested in working with, then please email the relevant School Administrator. While we offer relevant supervisory expertise for all of our research students, we cannot guarantee that you will be allocated your preferred supervisor. However, all academic staff named in these lists contribute to research seminars and lectures, and there will be opportunities to seek advice from staff beyond your supervisory team as appropriate.

See MPhil/PhD Application Process for more information on the application process and writing a research proposal.
