Graduate Students
The Centre offers opportunity for graduate students to undertake research projects as part of their masters by research or doctoral studies. A variety of interesting projects under three research themes of the Centre are available. Visit the Research section of this website and learn more about available research projects. Contact the relevant Chief Investigator if you need further information.
Scholarships
The Centre offers scholarships equivalent to APA (Australian Postgraduate Award) to graduate students persuing PhD studies with any of the collaborating partner of the Centre i.e. The Australian National University, The University of Western Australia, The University of Queensland and The University of Sydney. Students are encouraged to apply for APA or IPRS scholarships but if they miss out on those scholarships, they will be considered for Centre (ACEVS) Scholarships.
The Centre also offers Centre (ACEVS) Top up scholarships of up to $7,000 to the recipients of APA and IPRS scholarships.
Both the Centre Scholarship and the Centre Top up scholarship are highly competitive and are offered on merit to students with excellent academic background.
Contact the Chief Operations Officer of the Centre if you are interested in applying for the Scholarship.
