Postgraduate Scholarships
The CRC provides full or partial scholarships for Masters and
PhD students. PhD
Scholarships are offered each year to provide able candidates
with specific research opportunities relevant to the needs of
the Australian water industry.
As of August
2007, 58 CRC postgraduate students were enrolled through the 9
member universities across Australia, and 52 had completed their
studies and graduated. The diversity of projects undertaken by
students is illustrated by the presentations at the CRCWQT's Biennial
Postgraduate Student Conferences held in 1998,
2000, 2002,
2004 and
2006
. These conferences provide an opportunity for postgraduate students
from our participating universities to present their work to an
audience including water industry personnel from our industry
participants as well as their academic peers. A listing of PhD
and Masters graduates and thesis abstracts is also available.
Honours
Scholarships
From 2002 the activities of
the program were expanded to include provision of Honours Scholarships
for talented students
at the universities participating in the CRC.
This provides unique opportunities for students to broaden their
knowledge of water quality science, through a range of activities
from the undergraduate level through to postgraduate research
degrees.Honours
projects are arranged via the host university.
