"My PhD degree at the University of Melbourne gave me the "academic apprenticeship" I needed for the global job market. The exposure to world-class researchers, the opportunities for teaching and networking, and the facilities and funding were exceptional. I was immersed in the academic community from day one, which set me up for a successful career in Australia and overseas."

"I couldn’t have asked for a better academic training. The gold-standard level of research and teaching that stems from the Faculty made the leap into higher education less difficult than it could have been. Through hands-on supervision, teaching opportunities, and a diverse student cohort, the PhD program provides an exceptional platform from which to launch an academic career."

"This degree has allowed me to master the quantitative and communication skills required by today's hyper-competitive academic market. A research-oriented approach, coupled with coursework and exposure to world-class academic visitors, proved invaluable to move to the next stage of my career."
