Summer Research Program Scholarships
The Faculty of Engineering Summer Research Program (SRP) is a great opportunity for coursework students to gain hands-on experience working in engineering research. For 12 weeks over the summer break, participants are paid a scholarship to work on a research project under the supervision of a Monash University academic.
The Summer Research Program aims to provide participants with:
Faculty of Engineering Program
Over the 12 week program, Monday 20 November 2023 – Friday 23 February 2024, participants work with an academic on a research project. Students will also attend a series of sessions teaching research skills and be given information about the engineering research community.
Throughout the program, participants have the opportunity to present their research to their peers and academics, including oral presentations and a poster conference.
Participants will receive a scholarship of $500 per week. Students located interstate will be offered a travel allowance to cover return travel to Melbourne.
The Faculty’s Summer Research Program is a proven pathway into our graduate research degrees with many of our participants later enrolling in a graduate research degree at Monash University.
Projects for 2023-2024
Chemical and biological engineering
Civil engineering
Electrical and computer systems engineering
Materials science and engineering
Mechanical and aerospace engineering
Eligibility Requirements
SRP students must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Be enrolled at an Australian or New Zealand higher education provider
- Have completed at least 2 years/96cp (or equivalent) of an undergraduate degree or be enrolled in a graduate coursework degree and will be enrolled in the same degree in semester 1, 2024
- Have a current weighted average mark of 80% or higher (or equivalent)
- Be available for the full 12 weeks of the program (full time equivalent)
Monash University Clayton engineering students may use their participation in the Summer Research Program as a contribution towards their Continual Professional Development (CPD).

The summer research project has been extremely rewarding experience, and has made me realise that I would really enjoy a career in research and academia. In addition, I also enjoy helping other students learn, having been a unit demonstrator in the past, which makes academia doubly suited to what I'm passionate about.
