What does a PhD involve?

Over 3 years (or longer if part time), you’ll complete a research project that adds key knowledge to your chosen field. You’ll write up your findings in an 80,000-word thesis.

Throughout your PhD you’ll be guided by a supervisor who’s an expert in their field.

Your research work will be supported by state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure at the School of Physics.

Be sure to read all the general information on the Doctor of Philosophy – Science , in addition to this page.

What can I study?

Some of the areas you can specialise in when you study a PhD with us are:

• Astrophysics
• Atomic, molecular and optical physics
• Complex systems
• Condensed matter physics
• Particle physics
• Physical bioscience
• Quantum information.

We are one of the largest and most successful physics departments in Australia. We have world-class research programs in all areas of modern physics, with our academic staff leading a variety of projects within several Australian Research Council Centres of Excellence.

Melbourne University is consistently one of highest ranked Australian Universities in the Times Higher Education World Rankings and in the Academic Ranking of World Universities.

Where will this take me?

A PhD is an essential qualification for a research career in physics. It’s also a ticket to international research opportunities.

Our graduates have a strong track record of employment, both in academia and in the private sector. They find rewarding careers in:

• Research and teaching in universities
• Public research organisations such as the CSIRO
• Consulting and professional services firms
• Commercial sectors including the defence, banking, and energy industries.

Pathways to a PhD

Our PhD students come to us after undertaking research training either:

PHD SCHOLARSHIPS

Any student already doing a PhD at the University of Melbourne in the field of climate and energy transitions has an opportunity to join the College. Just get in touch and we'll discuss your suitability.

For new applicants, the PhD scholarship will need to be approved at two levels, first with the College (to ensure that the topic is relevant to themes of the College), and second within the faculty of your choice. The deadlines for PhD scholarships are different for each faculty; more details can be found  here . Further information about Central University Scholarships is provided below.

Please note:

• The cutoff for each faculty varies but in all cases is higher than the equivalent of a University of Melbourne 80% in a relevant degree. Successful applicants will meet the  University of Melbourne’s requirements for Research Higher Degree candidature
• The application process is highly competitive
• Students are encouraged to spend six months in Germany at a partner institution

College Scholarships

We are keen to hear from any candidates with strong academic and/or professional backgrounds that might be interested in studying at the College.

There are two ways to approach your PhD application. Both require you to think carefully about whether a PhD is right for you, and what PhD project might be suit your skills and interests.

1.   Develop your own research project

You are well suited to a PhD if you already have a topic that you are passionate about and a good idea of what you want to work on. In this case, you may develop your own research proposal;  ideally around 2000 words detailing the project and illustrating your understanding of the relevant academic literature.

The next step would be to scan the University of Melbourne's Find an Expert page to get some idea of a primary supervisor with whom you might like to work. Keep in mind that the more senior academics are likely to be inundated with similar such requests, and may only be available as secondary supervisors. So you are encouraged to identify early career researchers in your list of options as primary supervisors — they are also likely to have more time to work with you. 

Once you have prepared a proposal please proceed to the application page, where you will need to upload: 

• a completed College PhD Scholarship application form
• a copy of your research proposal
• a transcript of your results (including a grading scale)
• your curriculum vitae*

2.   Apply to work on a particular project

Our website lists projects that some of our supervisors are interested in. These are not PhD topics. You can apply to work on these projects but you will still need to develop a research proposal on a topic that relates to one of these projects. Before you approach the supervisor, do some research in the field and develop an idea of what aspect of the project you might like to work on.

Once you have identified a project please proceed to the application page , where you will need to upload the following documents:

• a covering letter which explains your interest in the project
• a research proposal (if you have one).

* Note: When we receive your documents we will keep them on file until scholarships are confirmed (and we will let you know when that is). Once College scholarships are confirmed, if you are identified as a potential College student you will need to follow the standard application procedure for admission to a PhD at the University of Melbourne — submit the application online (noting that you are applying to the Climate and Energy College) with other relevant documents, including getting your referees to submit the Referee Report Forms and (if applicable) the Employer Referee Report Form. 

Scholarship Entitlements

The scholarships provide:

• a living allowance of $30,600 per year pro rata (2019 full-time study rate) for up to 3.5 years
• a relocation grant of $2,000 for students who need to move from outside Victoria or $3,000 for students who need to move from outside Australia to study at the University of Melbourne
• overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) Single Membership for international students who require a student visa to study in Australia
• limited paid sick, maternity and parenting leave
