Then an RFID reader interface might not be the best option for you.
Why do you think that?

Because you indicated that you do not have the required background experience, and you have not indicated that those topics are of interest to you.
Implementing an RFID reader requires you to interface to the real-world using ADCs, and DACs. In the digital domain of the FPGA, you need to understand digital filtering, modulation, etc. Given that you have no experience in these topics, and you do not have a supervisor willing to help you learn them, you would have trouble completing the project.

What is it you want to learn about FPGAs? They just processing blocks, so what is it that you find interesting about them? What application do you have that needs to use an FPGA (rather than a processor or microcontroller)?
i have found a lot of projects that will be implemented in fpga, so that i think that it is interesting, but you are right, all of them are processors.

So how much do you know about processors and programming?
Perhaps you should try to think of a project that requires a processor in an FPGA. That way you could learn a little of both.
You could still implement an RFID reader project, however, rather than building the reader logic in an FPGA, you could try and find a reader IC, and interface that to an FPGA, and then program it using a NIOS processor.
