The Faculty of Science is offering a new award for PhD students enrolled in a Faculty of Science School to support travel as part of an approved 60-day Industry Placement that has been approved by the Graduate School.

Applicants can apply for up to a maximum of $5,000 to contribute towards costs including airfares, accommodation and other transport costs.

Find more details, including the guidelines and the application form (requires UQ login).

Each year, around 160 graduate researchers complete their HDR journey in the Faculty of Science.

We invite all our graduate researchers to mark this momentous occasion and take a photo of themselves submitting their thesis using our golden mouse.
