Dihon Tadic and Stuart Pederick joined the CMTE Drilling Group to undertake research into high pressure water jet drilling. CMTE students conduct postgraduate research towards projects that are not only commercially viable but important for mining safety and productivity. The Centre welcomes applications for this top-up scholarship scheme, or for a full CMTE scholarship, from recent graduates and young professionals who are keen to change the way mining is conducted and who want to be part of the revolution. The stipend is payable for the duration of study subject to a satisfactory program. The scholarship is currently HECS exempt for Australians.
Performance is reviewed six-monthly.
The stipend is reviewed annually. Students would be placed with a research participant and would work as part of a professional research team solving real industry problems, with access to world-class research facilities. Candidates are therefore advised not to resign their present position or take any other action that would leave them disadvantaged should enrolment not be approved. This applies particularly to candidates who are not Australian citizens or are not ordinarily resident in Australia, who also require a visa to enter Australia for study purposes. Please note also that persons who are not citizens or permanent residents of Australia may be required to pay international student tuition fees.
