Policies

Paid work regulation for scholarship holders:

According to the guidelines of specified for scholarship holders is indicated that scholarship holders:

"may undertake part-time work, which does not relate directly to the research project, not exceeding 30 normal working days (Monday - Friday) in any 12 month period. Part-time work related to the awardee’s research program may be undertaken but must not interfere with the progress of candidature."

This means, for example, you may take a tutorship up to 8 hours per week for two semesters each year which would be the maximum paid work you can do. Please note this regulation applies to all of the scholarship holders.

Information on the travel policy or application can also be obtained from the Research Administration Coordinator.

Research Centre/Group seminars - research students of a Centre or Group are required to attend the seminars of their Centre/Group.

 

RHD student mentoring

For each new research student, we will have a senior research student to help and mentor the new student. The role of the mentor is to help the new student with common issues or questions they usually have when they start their study at Swinburne, such as where to find a place to live, open a bank account, understand the way their centre or research group functions, be aware of the available resources, etc. New research students are encouraged to contact their Centre/Group RHD Coordinators or their supervisors to ask for a mentor.
