Candidates are advised to begin the application process early.

Referee reports
Candidates are required to contact their referees to confirm that they are able to submit a reference by the due date, then to enter their referees’ contact details into the on-line Application Form. Please note that once the referee details have been typed in and saved to the system, an email will be automatically sent to referees with instructions on how to submit their reference on-line. The system will then attach the referee reports to the candidate’s application for viewing by the Selection Committee members. Please note that as we have now moved to the electronic system, we no longer expect to receive hard copy references.
The Australia-at-Large administrator does not contact referees to seek reports – it is up to each candidate to check with the administrator that all their reports have been received.
All referee reports must be received by the due date. The Selection Committee may not be in a position to make use of reports received after this date.
Oxford University
Candidates intending to apply for a research degree are strongly advised to contact the relevant department at Oxford . The Selection Committee will expect to see evidence that the planned project is of interest to and can be supported by that department.
