0) If you are undergraduate students at UQ.

You are always welcome to come by my office (Building 78 Room 605) to chat with me :)

1) To be a Higher Degree Research (HDR) student.

- Before you could begin a Higher Degree Research (HDR) study here (as a master or Ph.D. student), you would need to be formally accepted as a Higher Degree Research (HDR) student at our university. Information about the enrollment procedure at our university, the academic and English language entry criteria, application forms, etc. can be found at: https://graduate-school.uq.edu.au/english-language-proficiency-requirements

Information about UQ's scholarships for the HDR students can be found at:

https://scholarships.uq.edu.au/

*Please note that I cannot provide any funding for you unless I have external funding.

2) To be an HDR student under my supervision
