Honours

If you have consistently scored a credit average in the second and third years of your undergraduate study, an Honours program provides the opportunity to enhance your research skills and improve your career prospects. Outstanding candidates may be eligible for an AIMI Honors Scholarship.

Students who wish to complete an Honours program with AIMI should first check their eligibility, identify a project, and speak with a potential supervisor from the researchers and research areas listed below.

Excellence in Research Honours Scholarship

Students will be considered for this competitive scholarship, valued at $5000, upon enrollment in a UTS Honours program through an AIMI primary supervisor. Priority will be given to high-calibre students interested in pursuing a research-rich career in microbiology or infectious disease. For more information on eligibility and how to apply, please check the guidelines below. 

Postgraduate
