Facilities and important resources for graduate research students

Office space

Arts graduate research students who are currently enrolled in a doctoral or masters by research degree can apply for an office space at Clayton or Caulfield.

The following factors are considered in allocating office space:

Candidature stage (those in the final stages may be given priority)
Frequency of use (students who anticipate using office space more regularly are given preference)
Need for space (suitable work space unavailable elsewhere)
Progress on your research and thesis.

To request a workstation, please complete the online application form for the relevant program:

Quiet study spaces are also available in all Monash Libraries for students who only visit the campus every now and then.

Sometimes there is a waiting period due to high demand for a permanent study desk. Hot desks are available in the interim at both Clayton and Caulfield. Please note desks will be allocated to students on a full-time usage basis, those who do not use their assigned desks , on a full-time and regular capacity will risk having the desk removed from them.

Hot desks

PhD Hub, 27 Sports Walk
