Research is an exciting journey of discovery, where you’ll be working at the ever-shifting boundary between the known and the unknown.

Where to startIdentify who will be your supervisor – before you start your application for a research degree, think of a research topic then contact a Graduate Research Co-ordinator listed for the degree you are interested in, to discuss supervision, eligibility, resources and a research proposal.

Prepare a research proposal – it is often useful to prepare a brief outline (maximum 250 words) of your proposed area of study to discuss with a prospective supervisor.

Discuss the resources available to you – find out what resources are available to you as a postgraduate research student, e.g. access to an office, computer, phone, email,

printing and stationery, as these vary depending on the faculty in which you enrol. It is very important that you make this a topic of discussion at the application phase, so that you can begin with a realistic expectation of the facilities and resources available.

Be informedSpend some time looking through the University’s research website. There is a lot of useful information for prospective research students there: www.postgraduate.uwa.edu.au/students/journey

You should also consult UWA’s research publications and expertise database for information on appropriate supervisors at UWA: www.directory.uwa.edu.au/research

Admission criteriaYou would usually be expected to have a first class or upper second class honours degree from an approved

university to enter a postgraduate research program. For further details please visit www.studyat.uwa.edu.au/postgraduate/admission

English requirementsIELTS overall minimum score of 6.5, no band less than 6.0 (must include Academic Reading and Writing modules). Please note higher English scores are required by some faculties. For further details please visit www.studyat.uwa.edu.au/postgraduate/admission/english-competency

Being at UWA and living in University Hall has really opened my eyes. I feel I’ve become a citizen of the world.

Australia’s fourth largest city, Perth is known for its clear blue skies, sunny climate and clean white beaches. It is the perfect environment for a relaxed and healthy lifestyle, yet it is also a sophisticated and modern multicultural city.

Perth is a gateway between east and west, and shares the same time zone with 60 per cent of the world’s population. It has a high standard of living and the Economist Intelligence Unit has voted it one of the top 10 cities in the world in which to live.

The city centre offers excellent shopping, as well as a vast range of restaurants, nightlife, entertainment and cultural venues. Enjoy a break from studying and visit the historic Fremantle area and join a tour of the old sites. Travel on Perth’s excellent public transport system is subsidised for international students. Head east to the Swan Valley and see how some of Western Australia’s most popular wines are made, or if cheese and chocolate are more to your taste, we have that too.
