Why study at ITR?

As students we were encouraged to offer ideas and opinions and to explore new ideas and that was backed up with weekly research seminars - Dr Wei Xiang, lecturer, University of Southern Queensland


The benefits of being a student at ITR include:

 

Our academics' reputation

ITR researchers work closely with industry so students have the opportunity to promote their research and interact closely with industry partners. In many cases, this has helped our students to start a good career within the industry.


Team environment

Supervisors encourage students to work with other ITR staff and students in a team environment when working on related topics.


Scholarships

ITR students have access to tax-free scholarships and top-up grants


Employment opportunities

ITR graduates are in demand by industry and academia within Australia and overseas.


Research collaboration with world-class institutions

ITR researchers are actively engaged in collaborating with researchers around the world. ITR students receive funding to attend conferences in Australia and overseas to support and promote their research.

Students are also encouraged to consider if they wish to undertake part of their candidature overseas in universities with which ITR has established links.


ARC Communications Research Network (ACoRN)

The national Australian Research Council (ARC) Communications Research Network (ACoRN), hosted by ITR, was established in 2005 to facilitate world-wide networking among researchers in the field of information and communication technology. Professor Lars Rasmussen is ACoRN's Network Convenor.

To date, a number of ITR students and staff have established connections with researchers throughout Australia and overseas, raising the profile of ITR and creating opportunities for close research collaboration. For further details of the program visit the ACoRN website
