When contacting supervisors we recommend that you communicate your research intent in a concise but well thought through manner – academic staff will receive a lot of similar requests and are only likely to respond positively to the ones that demonstrate commitment and ability. It is also a good idea to attach a CV (no longer than two pages) and a copy of your academic transcripts.

In some faculties they may advertise for research candidates to explore a particular topic. You should check the faculty pages for details of current programmes. A list of the faculties at Macquarie can be found here.

Once you have a positive response from a supervisor, you should contact Study Options,who will send you the relevant application forms and list of required documentation.
