Do I need a supervisor's acceptance letter?
It is strongly advisable for research degrees. AAU's laboratories are applied and project-driven, so professors respond best to applicants who can name the crops, techniques, or field systems they have experience with. Contact potential supervisors months before the deadline with a concise CV and proposal, and ask for a short acceptance note to include with your CSC file.
