Students are supported in this endeavour by their supervisor and a fortnightly research seminar held in the first year of the thesis phase of the program. On successful completion of the research proposal students work on their specific thesis topic which should be relevant to their current or future career and professional interests. Supervisors are chosen on enrolment but potential students are warmly encouraged to make personal contact with suitable staff. This publication is available from the Research Degrees Office and is also on the Faculty of Education Web Site . During the thesis phase of the program students have the opportunity to work even more closely with many of the staff members who are internationally recognised authorities in their fields.
Students value the opportunity to work closely with other dedicated professional colleagues.
They see this as one of the major benefits of the degree. Students are encouraged to build networks through meeting staff and students from various areas of educational research. Scholarships Full-time students may apply for a number of postgraduate scholarships. Application forms are required to be submitted by the end of October in the year prior to commencement of the program. Each year, however, the University does allocate a number of HECS exemptions.
