The School of Education operates separately from the Division financially. Determined in consultation with the student's supervisor to ascertain whether a separate account is required for the student or an existing account can be used. The Division currently is very short of accommodation, but endeavours to provide students with access to desks, computers and such other facilities as may be required. Because there is limited postgraduate on-campus accommodation, application is necessary. Eventually those students who apply for on-campus accommodation receive it, they sometimes are placed on a waiting list or agree to shared space.
Students can apply for a modem for home use.
Details and forms are contained in SSHE's publication 'Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Postgraduate Study'. Research students have access to a computer and are allocated their own desk space, and laboratory bench space. Students have access to all the necessary equipment they need for research. If this is not available on the Murdoch campus, then arrangements are made for access to the necessary equipment at another institution.
