Notes:

We will assess late applications submitted after the due date, with increasing limitations on the type of projects that remain feasible as the semester approaches. If your project requires ethics approval, it's important to stick to the deadlines (this is particularly important for single semester projects).

Research projects available in summer should ensure they meet the deadlines of Semester 1 projects. If you are intending to undertake a project requiring ethics approval in the summer teaching period, please contact MEnv-research@unimelb.edu.au to discuss requirements and timelines.

Only ENST90007 and ENST90006 are available for enrollment in the Summer teaching period.

If you require any clarification, contact MEnv-research@unimelb.edu.au as soon as possible.
