Looking for PhD students?
The Research Higher Degree and Study Abroad Programs, International Division at the University of Newcastle have established relationships with several universities in the Asia region. If researchers have PhD projects for which they are seeking students, International Division will forward details to contacts within these Universities and they will promote these to students. Details of interested students will then be passed on to the researcher for consideration. Any interested staff should provide a one page summary of their project to Andrea Windley smph-research@newcastle.edu.au
