Apply for the Program
The Australian Centre offers the Interdisciplinary Graduate Research Program, and students remain enrolled in their current departments. Eligible students must be undertaking graduate research on a relevant topic. Priority will be given to students with at least one supervisor based at the University of Melbourne.
Timely completion of the thesis remains the priority. The program is intended to enhance the experience of advanced research training. Students can join the program at any time during their candidature and remain part of it until they complete their studies.
If you are not a current student at the University of Melbourne and would like information about how to apply to become a graduate research candidate at the University, please visit the Information for graduate researchers web page.
Please note: Priority will be given to students with at least one supervisor based at the University of Melbourne. Students from other institutions will need a statement of support from their supervisors for their applications to be considered. Eligible students must have commenced a PhD or Masters by Research.
