The School of Humanities is committed to supporting its MA and Ph.D. students, and provides them with funding and infrastructure for their research activities. Infrastructure support The School provides the following facilities for its postgraduates: - Access to computer laboratories. Refer to labhelp site: www.fc.arts.uwa.edu.au/labhelp/new
- Internet access. See the Student Help Desk, Arts Building Room 2.32. If closed go to the Web Kiosk at Student Office, Ground Floor.
- Download printing through Faculty facilities of up to 300 pages per annum. An extra 300 pages is available during a candidature, usually either for preparation of the thesis proposal and the literature review or for the final preparation of the thesis. Refer to labhelp site: www.fc.arts.uwa.edu.au/labhelp/new
- Photocopying on the School’s facilities of up to 1000 copies per annum. See Muriel Mahony Room 1.18.
- Research-related postage, fax, and telephone expenditure of up to $50.00 per annum. See Muriel Mahony Room 1.18.
- Desk accommodation in the Faculty’s postgraduate rooms. The School will support students who prefer a desk in the Reid Library’s Scholars Centre or in a library carrel. The Faculty’s accommodations are limited, and priority will be given to full-time students. Contact Jenny Pynes, Room G.42.
Conference travel funding The School encourages its postgraduates to attend conferences, and will provide funding of up to $740 to cover conference travel and attendance costs when the candidate is presenting a paper. - Applications must demonstrate a clear research benefit to the student, and have the written support of the supervisor.
- Funding will be provided only after conference organisers have accepted the proposed paper for presentation.
- Funds will be provided only if a student has applied for all other available University funding for attendance (such as the University Graduate Research Candidate Travel Award).
Applications must be made on the Postgraduate Conference Travel Grant Application Form. Evidence should be supplied of the costs that are to be funded. All travel funded by the School must be booked through one of the University’s preferred suppliers: STA Travel, Tertiary Travel, or KistendCampus Travel. Research funding The school will fund justified research costs up to a maximum of $3,000 for a Ph.D. and $1,500 for an MA — most often for research trips or fieldwork, although other research costs such as acquisition of research material will also be considered for funding. In exceptional cases involving fieldwork, research funding may be increased to a maximum of $4,000 ($2,000 for an MA). Fieldwork is defined as on-site research outside Perth for a continuous period of more than three months involving exceptional travel, accommodation, or research expenses. - Applications must demonstrate a clear research benefit to the student, and have the written support of the supervisor.
- Funds will be provided only if a student has applied for all other available and relevant University funding (such as the University Graduate Research Candidate Travel Award).
- The following costs will not normally be funded: purchase of personal computers, clerical and editing services, normal living expenses (although limited funding towards accommodation costs may be provided for conference attendance, research trips, and fieldwork).
Applications must be made on the Postgraduate Research Funding Application Form. Evidence should be supplied of the costs that are to be funded.
