students from a variety of different countries and backgrounds and welcome this diversity among our student body.
Former students have gone on to work in a variety of areas in different contexts, including academia, government, the private sector or third sector organisations.
We also offer a
joint PhD in Employment Research
with our partner institution Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
