To discuss avenues for research and collaboration, please email foodresearch@adelaide.edu.au.

To apply as a new higher degree by research student, see the Adelaide Graduate Research School website.

Please note the following:

• PhD candidates can elect to enrol as on-campus or remote students, on a part-time or full-time basis.
• All PhD students have obligations to attend an Induction Program organised by the Adelaide Graduate Research School as well as inductions at the School and Faculty level held each semester.
• PhD students are expected to present their research in the History discipline’s postgraduate research forum, and to have regular contact with their supervisors, among other responsibilities.

Australian citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply for a range of PhD scholarships. International students may be eligible to apply for a scholarship, but funding opportunities are limited and therefore extremely competitive.

For details, visit the scholarships website.
