Apply online here. If you are applying from abroad, you should consult the department’s website to check whether you need to secure a faculty member before submitting an application. Typically, in postgraduate research programs, you need to find a faculty member to conduct research under; otherwise, your research in your selected program won't be approved - especially for funding.
