Register of Supervisors
The register of supervisors has been developed to offer students direction and assistance in choosing a general topic area by giving them a list of areas in which the Division has supervisors. The register provides you with potential supervisors and their areas of research interest by school:
- School of Commerce
- International Graduate School of Business
- School of Management
- School of Marketing
- Division of Business
When considering the Honours degree, students should first aim to work with a supervisor on this list. However, where students may have a previous lecturer, tutor, or course / program coordinator with whom they would like to work, this may be arranged. The choice of an Honours supervisor for the thesis or special topics comes under the direction of the Honours Program Director and requires their approval in conjunction with the Dean Research.
