MAKE YOUR MOVE TO RESEARCH
Our research is driven by the desire to make positive changes. If you are passionate about an idea that will create lasting positive changes, we want to help you bring it to life.
Whatever your research interest may be, we aim to support you in working alongside community, industry and end users to understand the problems, and together, we uncover solutions that are innovative, sustainable and accessible.
Our Research Advantage
We are strong on research quality with 22 fields rated at, above and well above world standards in the 2018 Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) – a quality evaluation of all research produced in Australian universities against national and international benchmarks.

On top of stipends, project and conference funding, new international students commencing at CQUniversity for the first time will be eligible for the International Student Scholarship (ISS) valued at 25% of their course tuition fees. In recognition of COVID impacts and to ensure students can still access higher education in these uncertain times, there is no minimum GPA requirement to receive this scholarship. This means if you have successfully completed your most recent studies, you will automatically receive the ISS when you apply and receive an offer from CQUniversity.
The ISS is not available to current students.

A Graduate Certificate in Research is available to help you step through to a masters by research or a doctoral degree if you do not meet the direct eligibility requirements.
