Information for Prospective Graduates
Programme Features All newly enrolled graduate students are to select a thesis advisor at the time of enrolment; however students may also participate in the laboratory rotation scheme during the first 4 months of the candidature period. Please note that the first rotation lab will be with the thesis advisor selected during enrolment.
The laboratory rotation scheme provides alternative for newly enrolled graduate students who would like to explore a different research area/project within the first 4 months of the candidature period.

All students should be able to confirm a thesis advisor by 30 November/30 April for the August/ January intakes respectively.
Students may first browse through the list of thesis advisors and research projects available at the N2CR PhD Graduate Programme website to choose the laboratories that they are interested.
Students should have discussed their proposed studies with the selected thesis advisors face-to-face upon successful enrolment acceptance to the N2CR PhD Graduate Programme.
Confirmation of Thesis Advisor By the end of the rotation period, students must indicate their decision regarding the confirmation of the thesis advisor, the default for which will be the thesis advisor confirmed at enrolment, unless there is mutual agreement to change.
