Postgraduate Education

Postgraduate students play a significant role in CAST's strategic research and add considerable value to our research program. Our postgraduates are spread over four universities: The University of Queensland, Monash University, Deakin University and Swinburne University of Technology. An important facet of our postgraduate education program is the inclusion of practical industrial experience and many of our postgraduates are seconded to industry partners and the CSIRO for parts of their research program.

CAST's strong postgraduate program continues to bear fruit with 5 students graduating this year, 2 submitting theses a further 5 starting projects and 24 currently conducting research on a range of different topics. Postgraduate education is reaching its peak within the CRC with students enrolled at all of CAST's research providers studying towards PhD or Masters degrees. Prospective postgraduate students should monitor our web site for any postgraduate research opportunities.

To date over 90% of students completing postgraduate study have been employed in the Light Metals field enhancing the growing network of Industrialists and Academics who have been trained with the assistance of the CRC program.
