If you are interested in conducting postgraduate research at CCRC, visit the research topics section of this site to find more out about research topics. Potential supervisors may be sought from the CCRC Team. For a list of current PhD students and their projects please browse the CCRC postgraduate student list. Please check out details of the CCRC PhD program here. For further information please contact the Postgraduate Research Coordinator. PhD Doctor of PhilosophyThe PhD degree provides training in research up to the level necessary for initiating and carrying out unsupervised original research. Like a MSc degree, the PhD requires the candidate to carry our research on an approved topic, under the supervision of a member of staff. The PhD degree, however, is of a far higher standard than the MSc and demands a much greater capacity for independent and original research. On completion of the research the results are incorporated into a thesis, which is submitted for examination by experts in the field. The PhD usually requires at least three years of full-time study. Part-time PhD candidature is encouraged but only for candidates who can spend at least 20 hours per week on their research and are able to maintain regular contact with the university.

Each candidate is given an individual research topic and carries out research on the topic under the personal supervision of a member of staff within the CCRC. Like a PhD, upon completion of the research, the results are incorporated into a thesis, which is submitted for examination by experts in the field. Postgraduate CourseworkThe School of Mathematics and Statistics runs several postgraduate level coursework degrees, such as Master of Science and Technology in Mathematics or Graduate Diploma in Oceanography. For more information on these courses go to Coursework. ScholarshipsThe University of New South Wales offers a variety of scholarships for undergraduate, postgraduate, local and international students. Scholarships are competitive and awarded on the basis of academic merit. In Australia, scholarships to cover living expenses and tuition must be sought independently of the application to graduate school. The main funding source is the government APA scheme for Australian and New Zealand nationals, and EIPRS scheme for other foreign nationals. These schemes, especially the EIPRS, are competitive and require high marks in the last few years of tertiary education, and/or previous research experience. There are other funding opportunities including scholarships available directly through CCRC staff members, through the newly established ARC Centre of Excellence in Climate Sciences, or through external funding bodies. If you have any further questions please contact the Postgraduate Research Coordinator. Local and international students click here for information on postgraduate scholarships and potential CCRC supervisors. For other scholarship opportunities go to UNSW Graduate Research School Scholarships page or the UNSW Scholarships web site. |
