Her research goal is to develop a model of how characteristics of the individual interact with characteristics of the computer mediated environment to explain social and emotional interaction on-line. In searching for Australian Universities in 1995, I only came across two that had Web pages. After completing the coursework requirements for the Master's Degree, I was able to transfer directly into the PhD program, effectively by-passing the dissertation aspect of the Masters due to the fact that part of the PhD research work is counted toward the Masters degree requirements. It is an interesting fact that everyone in the School is on a first name basis. This demonstrates the personal and friendly atmosphere around here.
Supervision is an excellent experience in itself.
Facilities are top-notch. The post-graduate computing lab is accessible at all times and computers are fast with all the latest software needed for studies. As a PhD student you share a private office with a colleague that is working toward their PhD as well. So come and see for yourself. Cheers Lee Gilbertson.
