Griffith Industry PhD Scholarship
An industry PhD scholarship supports collaboration on a research project that responds to industry needs.
These are co-funded by an industry partner and Griffith, and conducted under joint supervision.
Industry employment
Industry professionals who are employed by an industry partner may be supported by their employer to pursue a PhD while retaining their position and salary.
Fee offsets and other incentives may apply.
Research internship
Gain practical experience, strengthen your transferable, professional and research skills, and build networks.
Undertake a bespoke research project that lasts 3-6 months in collaboration with your industry partner.
National pathways
National industry PhD programs provide support and incentives to both universities and industry to foster practical research collaboration.
Are you an external organisation?
If your organisation is seeking solutions to a specific business challenge or needs answers to complex questions, consider a Griffith PhD -industry partnership.
Collaboration can provide you with access to the latest analysis, expertise and data from our world-leading research community.
Additional opportunities throughout your studies
There are many ways to amplify your research studies at Griffith in connection with external partner organisations.
Work Integrated Learning opportunities are available to all students across all disciplines in order to enable workforce-ready graduates. These may include short-term internships without a research focus. They may be discipline focussed, community focussed, or have a broad application like innovation and entrepreneurship.
Our award-winning Industry Mentoring Program connects students with industry professionals in person and online.
Our Emerging Industry Leaders Program is a professional development program exclusive to higher degree research candidates at Griffith University. The program bridges the professional gap for candidates who transition from academia to industry positions.
External Supervision may allow you to receive specialised industry, practice-based, or academic expertise related to your research. Talk to us about nominating someone for your supervisory team.
National industry PhD programs
The CSIRO Industry PhD Program and the National Industry PhD Program foster research collaboration by providing support and incentives to both universities and partner organisations when a PhD is designed with an industry application.
Griffith University has thoroughly embraced the National Industry PhD Program, achieving a high number of awards and a high success rate in national priority areas. This commitment highlights their dedication to developing the next generation of researchers who can seamlessly work in university and industry environments, whilst driving cutting edge research and innovation.
