Frequently Asked Questions about the Graduate Certificate |
Who is eligible to apply for the Commercialisation Training Scheme Scholarships?The CTS Scholarship requires that an applicant must be a domestic student enrolled in a Higher Research Degree (PhD, Professional Doctorate by Research or Masters by Research) eligible to apply for a living stipend (i.e., a full time student or a part time student who is not able to study full time normally because of illness or career responsibilities). For ATN research students, the CTS scholarship covers tuition fees and 14 weeks living stipend at APAI rates ($26,140pa in 2008). How can I access course materials?Access via the QUT Blackboard site is limited to students who are currently enrolled in the Graduate Certificate. For details on course enrolment please refer to 'How to Enrol'. If you are enrolled in the course and encounter an access problem please contact the e-Grad School Coordinator for assistance. Why do CRC researchers only have four unit offerings?A requirement of CRC Association sponsorship is that students undertake the four units recommended by the CRCA. These have been identified as being the units most appropriate to CRCs. I am receiving a CRC scholarship for my PhD, will a scholarship for the Grad Cert affect my PhD scholarship?If you enrol using a Commercialisation Training Scheme (CTS) scholarship you will need to discuss your enrolment pattern and consequent scholarship issues with your CRC. Alternatively, your CRC can sponsor your tuition fee for the Grad Cert but in most cases there will be no stipend associated with this sponsorship. Your Grad Cert enrolment will be one unit per semester, therefore you can still maintain full time PhD enrolment concurrent with your part-time Grad Cert enrolment. In cases where there is no extra stipend and your PhD enrolment remains full time, your CRC PhD scholarship should not be affected.
