Background
QUT offers a number of Vacation Research Experience Scholarships (VRES) over the summer vacation period.
The scholarships provide contact with active researchers and an opportunity to experience research work. This is particularly useful to students considering postgraduate research studies.
The research period is normally broken into two parts to allow for the Christmas break.
Offers are made subject to the availability of funding and appropriate supervision. Please note that we cannot guarantee you will be offered your first preference. The QUT Business School decision will be final and no appeals will be entered into.
