PhDs and research degrees

 

Undergraduate research pathways

Our research pathway gives you an opportunity to complete research in your field of study in the third or fourth year of your undergraduate education course.

You'll work closely with a supervisor to complete a dissertation in your chosen research topic and prepare yourself for a postgraduate research career.

The research pathways program:

• broadens your career opportunities by helping you to develop valuable research skills
• makes you a critical consumer of teaching education practices
• prepares you for future research degrees
• is an advantage when you're applying for a postgraduate research scholarship.

To be eligible for the research pathways program, you must have completed two years of your course, and have a grade point average (GPA) of 5.5 or above.

If you're interested in starting your research career with the research pathways program, contact the research pathway coordinator, Dr Susan Walker.
