Student Open Days
Are you looking for a career in biomedical research?
Attend our Student Open Day to discover the benefits we offer our students.
Advance your career - advance medical research.
Student open days are for prospective Honours, Masters and PhD students who are interested in biomedical research training.
- Discuss projects with our scientists
- Talk to our current students
- Tour our state-of-the-art laboratories
- Learn about career paths open to our graduates
- Find out how to apply and scholarship information
Attend Student Open Day
Our next Student Open Days will be held on Wednesday 4 September and Tuesday 10 September 2019, 4-6pm. Students should plan to attend only one Student Open Day.
Student projects
We offer a number of Honours, Masters and PhD projects across our diverse research programs. You can investigate our 2019 student project opportunities; opportunities for students commencing in 2020 will be available by mid-August 2019.
