Higher Degree Research

You can enrol as a higher degree research student at the master and doctoral levels. You will have the necessary support with research training, knowledge transfer, and innovation. We allocate experienced research supervisors to each student to maximise the research training experience, culminating in a high level of original research outputs that contribute to the various discipline areas. A number of scholarships as well as the Commonwealth Government's Research Training Program (which offers fee exemptions for eligible students) are further opportunities available to support you in your research endeavours.

Our research masters and PhD students explore a wide variety of topics in the areas of Economics and Business.
