During your research degree, you'll be connected with world-class research facilities. This includes everything from technology platforms and specialised lab equipment to bespoke research precincts and study spaces.
Along the way, you’ll be supported by highly skilled experts to complete your research.
Discover the research facilities available to graduate researchers.
Equipment and platforms
Our equipment and research platforms help to get results you can trust. Our platform technologies range from advanced microscopy and cultural informatics to metabolomics and health economics. And our platform technologists offer expertise on everything from defining the best method to analysing the data.
Industry and research precincts
When you’re early on in your research career, forging new connections is important. Being near to other researchers, in and outside of your field, can encourage innovation and lead to future research and work opportunities. And when you conduct your research with us, you’ll be in the heart of Australia’s leading scientific and cultural precincts.
Research places
Depending on your research topic, you may base your studies at one of our campuses, nearby hospitals or affiliated institutes.
Each place of research offers programs that are tailored to your discipline. This means you can shape your experience to get the results you need. You might choose to do your research:
