Information for future students
We are always looking for good PhD candidates with an interest in Artificial Intelligence. Possible backgrounds are an honour's or master's degree in physics, mathematics, computer sciences, or related field.
Application forms are available online from The Australian National University. Please have a look at the ANU and NICTA Education pages for further details. It is an advantage for applicants to contact potential supervisors before submitting the form.
The PhD will be awarded by ANU, with NICTA possibly paying a top-up scholarship. NICTA projects often have collaborators from industry or from overseas and can lead to commercialisation of the research.
The PhD program is 3-4 years. Note that scholarships for non-residents of Australia or New Zealand are very difficult to get, and you would typically need a couple of relevant and high quality publications in the area already, or excellent results from a top university Masters degree.
