Deakin University's new postgraduate Research Commercialisation program has been established to provide Higher Degree by Research students with skills in project management, organisational behaviour and commercialisation know-how. Students will gain a range of skills useful to the practice of research commercialisation and will graduate with an understanding of organisational behaviour, leadership and of how to work effectively in teams.
Students will be able to put these skills into practice during the commercialisation project unit. They will gain the skills to recognise and protect intellectual property and develop business plans for research commercialisation and will develop an understanding of how to present these plans effectively to raise funds for commercialisation.
The course is offered on a full-fee paying basis there are three remaining scholarships of $11,533 (covering tuition fees) for offer in 2008 to Australian Higher Degree by Research students.
