The period of candidacy for the PhD is between 2 and 5 years full time, or up to eight years part time. In special circumstances, a very limited number of candidates overseas may be permitted to enrol in a PhD by external mode. International students are liable for fees for this mode of enrolment. Scholarship holders are usually HECS exempt. Overseas students are liable for overseas students fees, unless they have gained a scholarship which covers fees.
Scholarships are available to suitably qualified candidates for research higher degrees.
The regular scholarship round closes annually in October. Individual members of the Centre list their current research interests in their personal pages. Also consult the list of Associate staff and their research interests .
