Summer Scholarships

Each year, the School of Animal & Veterinary Sciences, along with their many research partners located on the Roseworthy campus, offer Summer Scholarships to outstanding undergraduate students.

The Summer Scholarships allow students to participate in a research project for a period of up to 6 weeks to "get a taste" of what research is really about.

The benefits of undertaking a Summer Scholarship are many:

• You get to participate in an actual research project and work with some of the world's top scientists
• You get paid while you do it
• You get valuable work experience that you can include on your CV
• You get to know potential Honours/PhD supervisors
• You get to see if you really do want to become a researcher in this field
