Over 60 postgraduate scholarships to support PhD and Masters by Research students have been awarded since 2004. At this stage it is not envisaged that further scholarships in these areas will be awarded under the present AB-CRC which is due to close in 2010. If funding for a second CRC is approved, scholarships may again be offered for sometime in 2010 onwards. Below is a list of all our PhD, Masters and Honours students.
