Research and innovation
Our Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) brings postgraduate students, academics, government and industry together in an industry-embedded PhD program.
The DTC is an active national hub for research and education that elevates the role of sport and physical activity in society. Our aim is to produce job-ready graduates who are equipped to design industry solutions that harness cutting-edge technology, enhance overall wellbeing and improve performance.
The DTC offers a targeted, national PhD program focused on the Global Sport and Movement Collaborative's five priority areas:
- Harnessing Technology
- Promoting Access and Participation
- Enhancing Health and Wellbeing:
- Optimising Sports Performance
- Supporting Learning Through Movement.

Pathway 1
Work with our members to recruit a new PhD student to help solve key industry challenges. Students completing their PhD through the DTC will be high-achieving researchers equipped to tackle real world challenges.
We aim to recruit the appropriate candidate for each project. The successful candidate, and the progress of your project, will be supervised by an experienced researcher within the University to help drive outcomes for your research project.
Pathway 2
The DTC provides the unique opportunity for current, high performing employees to increase technical skills and knowledge.
By providing this opportunity for professional development, you are increasing the technical skillset and knowledge base of your organisation, with the added benefit that your PhD candidate will already know your business well. Your employee will continue to work for you and be based at your workplace, while completing their PhD program part-time.
