Travel and fieldwork

Coursework fieldtrips

Within your program, you may be able to undertake a field trip course. Overseas and local study tours and field trips are short term courses that allow you to study either a core course, elective unit or intensive course overseas. You can find out more on the Overseas and local study tours and field trip courses website. 

HDR travel and fieldwork 

If you're an HDR student, travel for fieldwork and conferences can be an important aspect of your research.

If you intend to travel for fieldwork during your candidature, discuss your plans early on with your Primary Supervisor and Chair of Panel. Before traveling, you may need to apply for travel approval. Please see the advice on HDR Travel Approval to find out how to apply for travel approval.

Local areas may also be able to provide funding for fieldwork, and you might also wish to seek other funding sources such as the VC's HDR Travel Grant. You can learn more on the Fieldwork page.
