At QUT you may be enrolled either as a full-time or a part-time internal candidate, or a full-time or part-time external candidate (although restrictions apply to some Scholarship holders), once you have been admitted to candidature for a research degree at the university.
To be enrolled as a full-time candidate, a candidate must be able to commit to the course 30 hours per week averaged over each year of candidature. Paid work, including preparation, teaching, marking and research assistant duties, may be undertaken but must not interfere with a candidate's study program. A candidate in receipt of a scholarship is subject to additional restrictions on the amount of paid work allowable as described in the relevant scholarship guidelines.
For information about PhD enrolment, please check the PhD Regulations, and for enrolment regulations in other research degrees, refer to the relevant course rules in the QUT Handbook.
