GCH5900 · Research project in green chemistry

Overview

You have the option of undertaking your research project in approved external institutions including CSIRO, university laboratories outside the School of Chemistry, companies with appropriate resources and facilities. In some cases, the external institution might be the employer of the student. Appropriate external supervision or equivalent arrangements needs to be demonstrated, and will coordinate with the Monash academic supervisor. Approval must be given by the unit coordinator for such arrangements.
