TIPS IN SEARCHING FOR A SUPERVISOR
I had provided a step by step guide in writing a supervisor. If you missed it, look it up here๐
https://t.co/ZrAe27bILv.
Today, I offer you a few workable tips to assist you in the search for supervisors.
1. Go to the staff page within the department or school website and look up lecturers whose research interests align with yours.
2. Another trick is to use the search bar on the website and type in the key terms of your research or interest. E,g Professor in public health/accounting/English etc. You can then instinctively navigate the page through the results.
3. Sometimes it is difficult to find a supervisor due to the number of academics in a school or department. Another trick to use when faced with this challenge is to locate a Postgraduate Coordinator within the department...
and share your proposal and CV with them to assist you to circulate among academics. This is a quick way to get a supervisor. Please note that different schools refer to such persons differently, Postgraduate Coordinator has just been used as a reference.

I present to you 7 steps that have worked for me and I hope it helps you.

In part A, we addressed questions 1-4. We will be continuing the thread by finalising Q4 before going on with Q5 and Q6.
If you missed PART A, catch up
Mentioning your limitation is a strength-based approach in SOPS. An example of how you can do this:

It is important to be clear about the skills you want to learn from undertaking your choice course.
Visit the course page on the university website and look at the modules offered under your prospective course and highlight the significance of those courses to your career path
Is there any linkage with a course you have done academically or professionally?
Another point to consider here is the quality of academics within your proposed department.
Look up the achievements of the academics.
