Postgraduate research at Monash Sustainability Institute (MSI)

MSI offers the opportunity to undertake a Research Masters or PhD on an issue related to sustainability. Students considering this option should review the Monash website to ascertain their eligibility to undertake post-graduate studies at Monash University. They should also familiarise themselves with the administrative processes, language proficiency requirement and costs.

A good place to start would be at: http://www.monash.edu.au/study/research
Also: http://www.monash.edu/study/international for additional information for international students.

The next step is to begin to define a topic. Research students at MSI have two supervisors, one from MSI and one from a Monash faculty which best relates to the discipline associated with your selected area. You may choose to contact MSI first or a Monash faculty. The contact person at MSI is:

Dr. Janet Stanley          
Chief Research Officer   
Monash Sustainability Institute, Monash University    
CLAYTON VIC 3800
AUSTRALIA   
tel:   +61 3 9902 0737   
mob:  +61 (0)418 407 248   
janet.stanley@msi.monash.edu.au

Acceptance to undertake a higher research degree at MSI will depend on a range of criteria, such as availability of a supervisor in your chosen area, and whether you meet the Monash entry requirements.

MSI welcomes your inquiry.
