Identify the School appropriate for your research project:
- View a list of current research discipline areas within UTAS
This list will provide you with some information about current research within your discipline of interest. Each of the discipline pages also provide links to the website and contact details for each school or discipline.and
- Access the UTAS Research Management Database using WARP (Web Access Research Portal)
You can use WARP to find the right school for your research area and to locate academic staff working in similar areas. General Public access allows any user, anywhere in the world to search for University staff based on either key word or name. This facility provides potential students with useful information on potential supervisors; such as the funding they have received for research projects, graduands and a listing of research publications. Also provided is a link to the staff members' own web pages (if known) where further information can be obtained. Email links to the staff members are also available.

Where the School indicates on an application for candidature that intellectual property is to be assigned to the University, the applicant will be required to sign a Deed of Assignment prior to the candidate commencing their research degree. Commencement of candidature and enrolment will not occur until the Graduate Research Unit has received the appropriate number of signed and witnessed Deeds of Assignment.
