Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Australia

We have 16 Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Australia

Charles Darwin University

Charles Darwin University (CDU) is a research-intensive university based in Australia's Northern Territory, renowned for delivering real-world impact well beyond our unique location in northern Australia. As the Northern Territory's only university, CDU offers PhD candidates an unparalleled opportunity to undertake research that matters, in fields where we have built international recognition: Indigenous and tropical health, environmental science, ecology, remote health, energy, and public policy. Though we are one of Australia's smaller universities, CDU punches well above its weight, ranking in the top 200 universities globally for sustainable development impact (Times Higher Education Impact Rankings) and 18th worldwide for Good Health and Well-being. Our researchers include 23 academics listed among Stanford and Elsevier's World's Top 2% Scientists. At CDU, PhD candidates benefit from intensive supervisor support, a multidisciplinary research culture, generous scholarship opportunities, and the chance to conduct fieldwork in one of the most unique and unspoiled environments on Earth.
