Our research
We have a diversity of science-based disciplines that consistently achieve impressive Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) rankings. These outstanding accomplishments provide excellent graduate outcomes and attract researchers and academics who are experts in their field.
Our PhD and research masters students are provided with opportunities to participate in international conferences to present their research to the global community, and are often supported by research grant funding.
We have a strong commitment to supporting the local community through programs such as the Psychology Clinic, which also provides a training facility for students.
