Postgraduate students

The School of Mathematical Science at the University of Adelaide has a long history of achievement in research and postgraduate education, and a reputation for providing a stimulating and supportive environment. Facilities and resources available include conference travel, opportunity to participate in the teaching program and access to excellent computing facilities. Over many years the University of Adelaide has ranked in the top two or three Australian Universities for PhD completions in Mathematics and Statistics, and our graduates are highly sought after.

The University is ideally located adjacent to the city of Adelaide and provides an excellent research environment. The University consistently rates near the top in comparative rankings of research quality and strength.

Travel information

Before a postgraduate goes on any trip associated with university business (conference, workshop, etc), you need to fill in some paperwork, get approvals, etc. There are limits on the amount of monetary support available to postgraduates for business travel. The amount is fixed over your candidature, but only a certain portion is available before your candidature is confirmed, following your major review.

If you wish to use any of your travel allowance, you must not make any bookings before getting approval from your supervisors and the administrators. The first thing you need do is get a form signed by your supervisor giving approval for the travel. Run off a copy of the form , and get it signed before approaching the adminstrators for bookings etc. Having your supervisor's approval does not mean you can go ahead and book your own tickets. (If you do that, you run the risk of having to pay your own way!)
