Financial Assistance
During the period of your candidature, the University allocates PhD and other research students, a student
allocation each semester for the duration of your research as follows:
Masters:
PhD:
2 years full-time or 4 years part-time
3 years full-time or 6 years part-time
This funding is provided to assist you with your postgraduate research expenses, for example: purchase of
equipment, software, assistance with travel expenses, binding and printing of your thesis. Allocations
accrue each semester and funds are available to students currently enrolled in an approved course of
study. Students must obtain approval from their supervisor before purchasing any items.
On your admission into the University, the Office of Research and Innovation determines whether your
area of research is characterised as a “high” cost or “low” cost area based on regulations from the federal
government. The base level of Faculty funding you will receive will depend on whether your project is
determined to be a “high” cost or “low” cost project. For this year (2012), allocation will be as follows:
High cost (full-time student) $1800 per semester
HDR Handbook Ver2.1
Page 8 of 16
27 Feb. 12
High cost (part-time student) $900 per semester
Low cost (full-time student) $800 per semester
Low cost (part-time student) $400 per semester
If you wish to know the balance of your account, please contact the PGResearch Office by phone (8946
6471) or email pgresearch@cdu.edu.au. You might find it handy to set up your own Excel spreadsheet and
keep tabs on your expenditure/balance. Allocations are credited to your account at the beginning of
January and July each year. To claim reimbursements, see below.
Queries:
Heather – extension 6471, email pgresearch@cdu.edu.au
In certain circumstances it is possible to apply for an advance on your allocation. This will be considered
upon a formal request from you and needs to be fully supported by your principal supervisor.
Publications Collection
During the course of your candidature you are encouraged to publish your work in peer reviewed journals
and conference proceedings. This will help you write your thesis, and in addition assist you in gaining
employment in research related areas. Your publications can generate income for the University. Every
year, from December to February, the University creates a portfolio detailing the research publications of
its staff. This entails filling out a pro-forma and then providing documentary evidence that the work was
published and peer-reviewed. It is incumbent on all staff and students to report their peer-reviewed
publications to the PGResearch Office.
Funding for Thesis Printing
Your student allocation can be used for thesis printing at the end of your candidature. If you have enough
funding in your student account it can cover costs of 3 theses:
