I found my supervisor by going on the schools website and looking at their research portal. There I was able to search for certain fields of research and read what current projects they were working on. Once I found my supervisor I contacted her through email (all the contact information was all available on the website) and explained that I was a student at KI and I was very interested in her research!
My project was done in an office environment and so it was not comparable to anything I had done previously at KI. It was in the field of neuroscience and psychiatry and I worked mainly with MRI scans in an advanced computer program. It required learning a lot of new skills and was initially difficult. My supervisor was quite busy and I only had contact with her about once a week. I think she was quite strict by Australian standards but she was very good at her job and gave great feedback for my final report. However, since I did not see her very often I had most of my contact with my co-supervisor and so when it came down to looking over my report it took awhile before she remembered to do it. A good tip is to give your supervisor plenty of time to look over your report, especially if they are very busy with their own work. That way it will be less stressful when it comes to the deadline. When speaking to my friends that were in other countries I realised that the experience of doing a research project is pretty similar regardless of what country you are in. We all experienced the same kinds of problems and concerns regarding getting in contact with supervisors and meeting deadlines etc. However I really loved Australia and the people there and so being in this country while doing my project was really motivating because it made going to work a lot more fun! When I do future research projects I would love to be abroad as well. I think you should always take the opportunity to travel when it is presented to you!
