Postgraduate information

Most students undertaking PhDs support themselves with an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA). To gain this funding you will usually need to have first class honours or a good research MSc. Australian funding is not generally available for overseas students, the International Office at the University has more details on schemes that do support international students. Several postgraduates in our group are supported by industry-based awards (APAI) won in competitive ARC schemes.
