The list of faculty members of the Graduate School of Engineering who use the PSD system. Please click HERE
Please bear in mind that even if you are able to contact your preferred supervisor via PSD, it does not necessarily mean that he/she will give you an informal consent to supervise you. For more information about our pre-admission support scheme, please click HERE.
