Change of Research Project/Change of Thesis Title
New title
Is this a change in direction of your project or a change in title only?
Please note that a change of research project does not automatically reset the timeframe permitted for you to complete your RHD
program. Candidates are still expected to meet normal progression requirements.
Will this change require a change to your advisory team?
No
Yes
If yes, please complete a ‘change of advisory team’ form and submit with this request.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------UN Sanctions and Australian Autonomous Sanctions
Please note that the United Nations Security Council and the Australian Government have implemented sanction laws that restrict a
range of activities between Australia and sanctioned nations, including Iran, Iraq and North Korea (for an up-to-date list of these
countries, please visit http://www.dfat.gov.au/un/unsc_sanctions/autonomous_sanctions_measures.html).
The University has a legal obligation to comply with these laws, which include an assessment of research projects being undertaken by
candidates from sanctioned countries. If this request is for a changed project, an Autonomous Sanctions Compliance Assessment Form
will need to be completed. Please contact the Graduate School candidature team for advice before submitting this form
candidature@gradschool.uq.edu.au.
