Potential projects for postgraduate students
Below is a list of potential postgraduate student research projects identified by SGEES Academics and, in some cases, developed in conjunction with other institutions (e.g. GNS Science). If you are particularly interested in one of these topics, please feel free to get in touch with the associated Academic for further information.
It should be noted that if none of these projects appeal to you, yet you feel have a good idea or interest in a specific discipline, you are more than welcome to get in touch with an Academic to discuss things further.
