Deakin’s PhD industry placements program gives organisations like yours access to emerging research experts to solve problems and harness new opportunities. Industry placements are available to all non-higher education institutions, such as small-to-medium enterprises, government and not-for-profits, and can be completed by both domestic and international graduate researchers.
We have had seven PhD researchers undertake internships with various Aurecon business units. The success of these projects, business impact and readiness of the candidates for industry has seen a number return to Aurecon following graduation.
