Supervision excellence awards
Monash is home to many internationally renowned researchers and a diverse research community.
As part of your graduate research degree, you will work with at least two research-active supervisors whose knowledge and experience will guide you through your research journey.
The Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Postgraduate Supervision are a unique opportunity to acknowledge our outstanding supervisors. Winners of this prestigious award are recognised for their excellence in teaching, mentoring, leadership and their research track record. Past winners are also encouraged to contribute to the development of other Monash supervisors.
Our dedication to continually improving and recognising the importance of excellent research supervision ensures that our graduate research students work with some of Australia's finest supervisors.
