HDR coursework is mandatory for some of our research degrees. HDR coursework adds to your researcher toolkit so you can graduate with a robust set of skills, for a career in academia or industry.
Your faculty may elect to define certain units of study as mandatory for a given degree, or define any other studies as required by the progress evaluation panel of the research project. Refer to the relevant course in the handbook .
Getting started, do i need prior research experience.
Yes, all HDR courses require prior research experience. This is because HDR courses are largely self-driven, requiring pre-requisite research, time and project management skills.
If you do not have any previous research experience, there are ways to gain what you need. Both the one-year honours and masters by coursework degrees containing substantial research components are great pathways into research. These courses will allow you to gain the research skills necessary to apply for the PhD.
The PhD is our premier research award and the highest qualification on the Australian Qualifications Framework. The PhD is usually three years full-time or six years part-time.
The Master of Philosophy/Research is usually one to two years full-time or four years part-time (part-time is available to domestic students only). A PhD thesis is generally around 80,000 words while a master’s thesis is 50,000 words.
To browse through the profiles of our researchers and learn about their current and past research, please refer to Find a Researcher . Here, you will also be able to access the publications lists and contact details of our researchers.
No. Interdisciplinary research is highly regarded in the world of academia and working across disciplines can be very beneficial in developing and demonstrating different analytical skills. Working on research from two perspectives can also offer insight that you would not be able to achieve from one discipline perspective.
Please check your course page for the requirements of each course. Generally, the English requirements are between 6.0 to 7.0 IELTS overall or equivalent in other accepted English proficiency tests.

We have one of the largest research schemes in Australia. Opportunities include the Australian government-funded Research Training Program (RTP) stipend scholarships, and the University of Sydney and faculty-specific awards. Explore your options .
Do i have to undertake hdr coursework.
It depends on your degree. Your faculty may define certain units of study as mandatory for a given degree. Where this is not the case, you may still have the opportunity to complete units of study that you find useful to support your learning and research.
It is possible for students to move to the PhD after the first year of study, if you have made satisfactory progress and if the transfer is approved by your Faculty. It is important to inform your supervisor of your plans early so that you can work on a timeline together to achieve this goal.
Am i able to work while studying my hdr course full-time.
Yes, you can work during your PhD. How many hours you take on is at your own discretion, and you must ensure that you still allow time for the completion of your research. International HDR students can generally work more hours than coursework students. Please check your individual visa for specific restrictions.
There are sometimes opportunities for PhD candidates to engage in paid employment at the University, but this is not guaranteed and is dependent on the Faculty/Department. If opportunities do arise, they may be in the form of teaching, marking, acting as a research assistant, or other roles.

If you’re an international student who has completed higher education studies, you might now be considering studying a doctorate degree, also known as a PhD. In Australia, this is the highest level of study and, once completed, can unlock doors to better employment, higher wages, and industry recognition.
Here’s a handy guide on how to apply, what to expect, and where to find further information for your exciting next step.
An honours is an extra year of study in Australia. To qualify you need to have completed your undergraduate degree, otherwise known as a bachelor’s degree, to a high standard. This is often considered a stepping stone to further postgraduate study.
Graduates with a bachelor’s degree might consider a graduate certificate, which usually takes one semester of full-time study and can help you specialise in your chosen career path. One step up from a certificate is a graduate diploma. This type of study takes one year of full-time study and can often be continued on from the graduate certificate.
A master’s by coursework is similar to a graduate diploma but takes a little longer and is regarded as a higher qualification. In most cases, you need a relevant bachelor’s degree; however, in certain circumstances, extensive relevant work experience might be accepted instead. This type of course typically takes 18 months to complete. A master’s by research takes two years of full-time study and is based on a research project supervised by a university academic.
A doctorate by research or a PhD is the highest level of study offered in Australia. A PhD requires submission of a thesis that is assessed by examiners who determine whether the research is worthy of the qualification. A PhD student must show through their thesis that they have made a significant contribution to their field. Once graduated, the candidate may use the title of Doctor.
A PhD in Australia is usually studied over the course of three years. While some students take a little longer, extensions are subject to funding, as well as other important factors. Domestic students may have the option to study part-time but as an international student, you must study full-time in order to be eligible for a student visa .
According to the Australian Government , fees to study a PhD range from A$19,000 to A$78,000 per year, depending on the education provider. There is a chance you may not have to pay the full amount if there is funding available, which is common in Australia. Most universities have funding for promising PhD students set aside. Get in touch with your chosen university directly to find out what scholarships are available to international students. The Australian Government also runs Destination Australia , which funds eligible education providers in regional areas to offer scholarships to both domestic and international students. The government also offers the Research Training Program for participating universities.
International students also need to consider the cost of living while abroad to qualify for their visa. You’ll need at least roughly A$21,041 for each year of your study in your bank account in order to be granted a visa.
In most cases you will need an undergraduate degree with a minimum of Second Class Honours (Division A) – also known as ‘upper second-class’ honours – to apply for your PhD to demonstrate you have significant research experience. However, many education providers offer research-based qualifications to give you this experience if you didn’t complete an honours degree originally.
PhDs in Australia are usually research-based and, while they may contain other aspects, the focus of your studies will be on working towards your doctoral thesis.
In general, a PhD begins with a literature review that collects, analyses and summarises the current research published on your chosen subject. This then provides the basis for designing, implementing and analysing your own research that you’ll write about for your thesis.
In Australia, you are not required to undergo a viva voca , which is an assessed oral exam in defence of your research topic, method and predicted results. Instead, you are assessed solely on your thesis.
To apply for an Australian PhD, the first step is to contact a university academic working as a supervisor for PhD projects. You contact them, usually about four months before you wish to commence your studies, with the research topic you would like to propose. The person you choose should be the lead researcher for the institution you wish to apply to, in the relevant field you wish to study.
Once you have what is known as an ‘expression of interest’ from a provisional supervisor, you can begin your formal application to the university. Most universities won’t consider an application without an expression of interest from a supervisor, so make sure you have this first.
To study as an international student in Australia, you must have a student visa (subclass 500) from the Australian government. Unless you are exempt, the application fee for this visa is AUD$710. You can read more about student visas and their requirements here .
Australian PhDs are delivered in English and have language skill requirements. There are various tests you can take to verify your English language skills including the IELTS, CAE and PTE. The score you need is usually specified on the universities website and will depend on the test you take.
International students must have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) in order to be granted their student visa. There are a variety of providers to choose from, including many universities, but the policy you choose must adhere to the Overseas Student Health Cover guides. Explore your options in greater detail here .
The new international student working limit of 48 hours every fortnight does not apply to international students who are pursuing a doctorate or a master’s degree through research. These students are not restricted in terms of the number of hours they can work. However, your actual work hours should align with your study requirements and also require approval from your academic supervisor. This is to ensure that your employment does not interfere with your primary objective of completing your academic research.
PhD study is an excellent way to enter the Australian workforce and graduate visas are available that can entitle you to stay in Australia for up to four years after you have finished your PhD. In other words, if you have dreams of both furthering your education and settling long-term in Australia, a PhD could be the perfect way to make those dreams a reality.

Tuition fees and course costs for domestic students, australian scholarships and fellowships, cost of living in australia, student visa costs for australia.
Australia is one of the most popular study destinations in the world, hosting over 456,000 international students between January to April 2022 . However, it’s also unfortunately one of the most expensive, with students needing AU$21,041 (~US$14,400) each year for living costs alone, according to the country’s student visa requirements . Meanwhile, tuition fees at Australian universities vary considerably depending on where and what you study, and the level you will be studying at.
Read on for a breakdown of these costs and for advice on how to find Australian scholarships to support your studies.
According to Study Australia , the official government site for international students, gives the typical annual tuition fees for international students as:
These figures do not include high-value courses such as veterinary or medical degrees , which can cost significantly more.
Tuition fees at Australian universities are generally calculated per unit, not per year. Each unit falls into a fee band, and as most students will be studying a combination of units from different bands, fees will be different for everybody.
Some universities in Australia publish official fees estimates, including Australian National University (ANU) , which is the nation’s highest-ranked institution (30 th in the QS World University Rankings® 2023 ). The yearly cost of an international undergraduate degree from ANU is around AU$42,560 (~US$29,100) for some Bachelor of Arts programs, up to AU$47,940 (~US$32,780) for Bachelor of Science or Medical Science programs.
For graduate degree programs, annual fees can range from AU$45,360 (~US$31,004) and reach up to AU$47,940 (~US$32,780).
PhD programs are priced similarly, starting at the end of the scale, from AU$ $39,870 (~US$27,249) upwards. In a league of its own, however, is ANU’s Doctorate of Medicine and Surgery degree, which costs AU$85,120 (~US$58,184).
Another cost to consider is the Student Services and Amenities fee , which is a charge for services and amenities of a non-academic nature, up to a maximum of AU$315 (~US$215) in 2022. Not all universities in Australia charge this, but make sure you check beforehand so it’s not an unexpected expense.
As with many other places around the world, it’s cheaper to study in Australia for domestic students, especially those who successfully apply for a Commonwealth supported place , which means study costs are largely subsidized by the government. Commonwealth supported places are available at all public universities in Australia and some – but not all – private ones.
Student contribution amounts vary depending on where and what you study, but are capped by the government. The government sets the minimum and maximum range for each fee band , which, for 2022, is AU$0-3,985 for Band 1; AU$0-8,021 for Band 2; AU$0-10,754 for Band 3; and AU$0-14,640 for Band 4.
You will need to work out your total tuition fees by identifying which subjects or units are covered by each band, and how many credits (expressed as a fraction, e.g. 12/96 = 0.125 EFTSL) you get for each unit. Multiply this EFTSL figure (0.125) by the band fee charge to get the total cost per unit. Or, alternatively, you can just use an online calculator. Most institutions provide one on their website.
Tuition fees for domestic graduate students are worked out in a similar way. Some institutions publish estimates of the yearly fee for graduate students. For example the University of Melbourne lists prices for 2023 ranging from AU$20,800 per year for the Master of Psychiatry online course, up to AU$77,344 for a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Some graduate programs also offer Commonwealth-assisted places, so check with the institution.
Unlike international students, domestic students are eligible for the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP). There are four types of government loans available to Australian citizens and permanent humanitarian visa holders. HECS-HELP is a scheme which helps Commonwealth supported students to pay their student contribution amount; FEE-HELP covers tuition fees for fee-paying students; SA-HELP pays the student services and amenities fee and VET Student Loans pay for vocational education and training fees.
The Australia Awards are international scholarships and fellowships funded by the Australian government, available to Australian nationals and citizens from other eligible countries, a list which covers the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific area and Asia.
If you’re a graduate student from the UK, you can apply for the Northcote Graduate Scholarship from the Britain-Australia Society. This funds for your travel there and back, tuition fees and charges, and also provides an allowance for three years while you study.
For all undergraduate and postgraduate students, check with the Australian universities you are interested in, as many offer scholarships open to both domestic and international students at both levels. For more funding opportunities, visit our list of scholarships to study in Australia .
As mentioned, the Australian government’s Department of Home Affairs says you must prove you have AU$21,041 (~US$14,400) for living costs per year. If you’re bringing a partner you’ll need to add AU$7,362 (~US$5,035) to this figure, and if you have children, you’ll need to show you have an additional AU$3,152 (~US$2,156) for each child.
As well as proof of these funds, you will also need to show you have a return air fare for yourself and every family member you take with you, as well as enough money to cover the school fees of any children you have between age five and 18.
Although the above outlines the amount required by Australia’s immigration standards, you may not need to spend that much once you arrive. The official Study Australia guidelines recommend budgeting between AU$90 (~US$62) and AU$440 (~US$301) per week for accommodation, depending on whether you stay in shared accommodation on campus (the cheapest), or in private rented accommodation (the most expensive).
Other weekly expenses include:
To simplify, this works out to a minimum of around AU$425 (~US$290) per week.
Most Australian universities provide detailed breakdowns of the cost of living in Australia on their websites, including student accommodation and sometimes even local area prices and advice.
Remember the costs listed by the university will usually be for an academic year (about 40 weeks), rather than a calendar year, so you will need to budget extra if you want to stay longer.
The fee for the Student Visa (Subclass 500) currently stands at AU$650 (~US$445). As a visa requirement, you will need to organize Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for yourself and any accompanying family members, which needs to be valid for the duration of your stay. You don’t have to use the provider your university recommends, but, whichever you choose, ensure it is government-approved.
OSHC Australia provides a search function which can be used to compare quotes for medical insurance from authorized providers. We found the cheapest option for a standard undergraduate student (duration three years, starting in March and finishing in December) with no accompanying family to be AU$2,101.56 (~US$1,437).

All domestic students enrolled in a postgraduate research program, such as a Doctor of Philosophy or Master of Philosophy, are awarded an Australian Government Research Training Program (AGRTP) Fee Offset Scholarship.
The AGRTP is funded by the Commonwealth government and provides support to students completing a research degree program.
The AGRTP Fee Offset Scholarship provides support for the research program up to a maximum of two years (full-time) for a Masters program, and up to four years for a PhD program (or part-time equivalent). This means that domestic students are exempt from paying tuition fees for this period of time.
If you enrol in additional subjects/courses during your enrolment you may incur tuition fees.
Research students are required to pay the services and amenities fee.

She got no points but a million votes for best 2024 olympics meme..
Posted on Aug 12, 2024 Updated on Aug 12, 2024, 1:33 pm CDT
The Australian breakdancer meme references Olympian Rachael Gunn, also known as Raygun, who went massively viral for her performance at the 2024 Olympics . Unable to perform the high-skill moves that you typically see in such a competitive event, Gunn instead opted for an “artistic” approach—complete with kangaroo hops—that instantly caught the internet’s attention.
Judges granted Gunn a low score, barring her from moving on to the finals, but she is now the sole reason so many people know that breakdancing is an Olympic event. Though Raygun has become the target of some rather nasty criticism over her performance, many others have defended her, and her meme status is not all negative.
my dog on the lawn 30 seconds after i've finished bathing him pic.twitter.com/A5aqxIbV3H — David Mack (@davidmackau) August 9, 2024
Gunn is a 36-year-old breakdancing woman or “B-girl” born in Hornsby, New South Wales and currently residing in Sydney, Australia. She reportedly earned a PhD in cultural studies in 2017 and now teaches at the Macquarie University.
She ended up at the Olympics simply because she won in the Oceania qualifier. It’s unclear whether judges in the qualifying rounds were more open-minded or if she was simply better than everyone else there, but she made it fair and square.
Her non-traditional performance made it to social media and quickly became an Australian breakdancer meme . Some have even, as they say, “Peter Giffin’ed” her.
Y'all….The people's faces in the background and Peter Griffins voice has killed me. ☠️☠️☠️ pic.twitter.com/NNa4NJkuTN — Literally Heather (@Shouse34) August 11, 2024
Gunn received zero points in all three rounds of her performance, leaving her in last place and unable to move forward in this competition. This may sound harsh to those unfamiliar with how breakdancing is scored on a competitive level, but it’s not that unusual.
Those “points” would be more aptly termed as “votes.” She got zero votes from the judges as deserving to make it to the next round, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t at all impressed by what she did.
Olympic breakdancing judge Martin Gilian spoke out in her defense, explaining that Gunn wasn’t bad at breakdancing. She just wasn’t as bad as the other women.
“Again, we’re using a comparative judging system,” he explained to the Daily Mail. “Her competitors were just better but it doesn’t mean that she did really bad. She did her best.”
He went on to point out that she won the qualifier and praised her for both doing something different and representing her country with her kangaroo dance.
“Breaking is all about originality and bringing something new to the table… and this is exactly what Raygun was doing,” he said to BBC .

Oh no, the Turkish shooter is back… and this time he’s using a Raygun!! #Olympics pic.twitter.com/9JafawzrSe — Evan Morgan Grahame (@Evan_M_G) August 10, 2024
Yes, Gunn is a real competitive breaker and has been for some time. Raygun has been breakdancing since 2008 , and was therefore considerably older than her other Olympic competitors. Feeling that she couldn’t beat them using physical strength and endurance, she opted for a different approach.
“I was never going to beat these girls on what they do best, the dynamic and the power moves, so I wanted to move differently, be artistic and creative because how many chances do you get in a lifetime to do that on an international stage?” she said.
“I was always the underdog and wanted to make my mark in a different way.”
Mission accomplished.
During the 2024 Olympics closing ceremonies , Gunn proved her abilities by doing impromptu dancing in a parking lot for a cheering crowd, and showed off more traditional breakdancing moves.
Now why was this better than her actual routine that she used to literally compete in the Olympics 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/3Z0JTebA1Z — Layan 🇦🇺🇵🇸 (@Layan_FC) August 12, 2024
Her teammates granted her a guard of honor during the ceremonies to support her in the face of sometimes cruel jokes and vitriol, and Gunn seems like she’s doing alright.
