QUT recommends that you discuss your research interests with your proposed supervisor early in the application process. You can search for a supervisor using QUT's experts database, and you can search the student topics database for available research projects or propose your own research topic. You may also ask a supervisor to help you identify or refine a research topic.

Your research proposal should include your research topic, an overview of previous research in the area, the objectives of your research, your proposed research methods and plan, your supervisor, and any coursework requirements.

Your support team will include external supervisors from industry as well as QUT's academic staff. Additionally, the Graduate Research Education and Development (GRE+D) program offers seminars, workshops and practical experiences to get you ready for life after graduation. A research degree skills audit also helps you and your supervisors to identify the coursework and training that will support your research and employment goals.
