The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs focuses on original engineering research with a faculty member. We suggest that you apply, and upload all materials and then start the process of trying to make contact with faculty members in the research area(s) that you are interested in. You can contact a faculty member to be your prospective supervisor through our official form. You may apply without a supervisor. A supervisor is only necessary to be accepted.
