Supervisors

Our Professional Doctoral Academy is supported by a dedicated team of supervisors from the University’s leading academic schools, including the School of Computing and Engineering, the School of Business, Education and Law, and the School of Human and Health Sciences.

These supervisors bring a wealth of expertise across disciplines, offering tailored guidance to doctoral candidates. Their diverse backgrounds ensure that candidates benefit from interdisciplinary perspectives, fostering research that is both academically rigorous and practically impactful. All supervisory teams are multidisciplinary, contributing a valuable diversity of ideas that enrich the development and outcomes of each research project.
