Gain research experience

We encourage our undergraduate students to gain early exposure to research. You will be able to work with experienced research staff and postgraduate students on a topic that fascinates you. The skills you gain in academic research - to reason and reflect, to think critically, conceptually and creatively, to analyse data and ideas - will serve you well whether you decide to take on a research degree or go straight to the workplace.

We make research easy. Monash is host to many research institutes and centres that you can access. Generous scholarships are available for full-time research at postgraduate level. We also offer research scholarships for undergraduates.

Research projects

Some courses offer students the opportunity to participate in intensive research projects as part of their undergraduate degree. These include:

Research subjects

We are offering an increasing number of research intensive units as units within undergraduate degrees.

Research degrees

Monash offers a large range of research degrees. These include degrees that allow you to mix coursework and professional practice and conduct research across disciplines.
