Current Postgraduate Research
Postgraduate Research Projects
The Australian Centre's rich diversity of interests is reflected in the research being conducted by its postgraduate students. Our postgraduates are working on a wide range of topics and in a variety of disciplines. Co-supervision with other faculties (for example, The Faculty of Music, The Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning) and other programs within the The Faculty of Arts is also possible.
