Research Degree Supervisors

There are three main ways to identify an appropriate supervisor to contact:

1. Browse the list of staff below within the Institute for Global Health and click on their name to view their staff profile on

2. Look directly on where you can search for relevant academic units and potential supervisors by keyword. Not all academics are listed but it is a good place to start.

3. Search our where all 香港六合彩's research papers are published, subject to approvals. If you identify a research paper that particularly interests you it is likely that one of the authors would be a suitable research supervisor.
