Graduate Degrees Down Under

Learn more in your field while expanding your global outlook

Not only will earning a graduate degree in Australia help you gain a global outlook, but you will have access to some of the world's best teachers and facilities. Another bonus - Australian graduate programs tend to be shorter than similar programs in the US and Canada, so you can apply what you have learned to a career sooner. Learn more about the benifits of an Australian graduate degree here.

Engineering Olympic Gold

Monash researchers aid Olympic cyclists

Researchers at Monash University recently collaborated with the Australian Institute of Sport and Cycling Australia to use their wind tunnel - the largest in the southern hemisphere - to study the aerodynamics of interactions among four Olympic-caliber cyclists. Researchers were able to identify equipment and body positions that add the speed the athletes will need to leave their competition in the dust. Read more about the studies here.

Transit of Venus Caught on Tape

Watch the QUT video

The planet Venus won't pass directly between the earth and sun again for over 100 years. Lucky for us, a radiological technician at Queensland University of Technology took 1000 still shots of the last transit (6 June) and combined them into this sequence of the event.
