Student Feedback

Domestic PhD Student within the Medical Engineering theme

Having spent more than a year working in Canada, I was keen to pursue a PhD that allowed me to work in a field I love, with the international opportunities it brings. I applied for every scholarship imaginable, which was a little bit of work, but in the end so rewarding. In fact, some of the applications forced me to really think about the topic I was embarking on, and so made the commencement a fairly easy transition. With the award of my scholarships(QUT APA and a top up from Smart Futures), I essentially have a payed research job, with travel opportunities, terrific support, flexibility, and as an added bonus, I receive a great degree at the end of three years.
