All of the projects available on the page are funding-contingent.  That means they are part of research grant proposals that have been submitted for funding.  Successful grants will allow for the allocated projects to be advertised internationally as scholarships or on the University Scholarship website.

In some cases, students interested in particular projects can apply for university scholarships separately.  The process for both pathways are different, and explained in detail below.

Applying for a University or external scholarship

  • The student contacts Shaneel regarding a project, discusses the details.  if endorsed, the student drafts a Research Proposal (in discussions with Shaneel).

  • At the same time, the student registers online as a RHD candidate (please note there are separate links for Australian and international applicants.  The Proposal will form part of the application process.

  • The student applies for the scholarship separately.  For University-wide scholarships, the student will need the student number allocated to them by the University as well as the Proposal.

  • If the scholarship application is successful, the student gets notified by the University and they prepare to start their candidature at Rockhampton Campus (please note supervision outside Rockhampton Campus is currently not available for the projects listed).
