The following links are useful in navigating the process of becoming a PhD student.

Doctor of Philosophy - Engineering and IT: Details about PhD course and requirements.

Application Process: An overview of the steps required to become a PhD student.

Eligibility: To be eligible you would normally have completed at least a 4 year degree (equivalent to the University of Melbourne’s H1 (80%+) level) that is in a relevant area to your intended study. You must also have evidence of completing a research project/component that accounts for at least 25% of one year’s work at 4th year Bachelor’s or at Master’s level. There are also English Language requirements.

If you think your under-graduate and or masters grades are good enough to be competitive for a scholarship (>90% required to be competitive) then please send me:

1. A copy of your academic transcript with grading system to help me assess your academic record (Masters and/or degree).

2. A 1 page summary of the type of hydrology/hydroclimatology/other research you are interested in doing as part of your PhD (basically what areas of research interest you).
