Graduate Research Coordinators

UTAS Home › Research › Graduate Research › Future Candidates  › Graduate Research Coordinators

Each School/Institute at UTAS is required to have a Graduate Research Coordinator (GRC). The GRC performs a critical role in the overall experience of higher degree research (HDR) candidates and acts as the central point of contact for research candidates within a School/Institute. 

The GRC can provide applicants with advice on eligibility requirements, possible research topics, available resources, research strengths, and supervisor availability.

Please select the relevant Faculty or Institute below to retrieve a list of Graduate Research Coordinators in your chosen research area.  The list of GRCs is also in a single document available here.
