Student Open Day
COVID-19 restrictions means we can’t welcome students in person to SVI this year, but we look forward to meeting you online for our Virtual Student Open Day.
Learn about SVI’s exciting student opportunities in this information video recorded during our Virtual Student Open Day held on Thursday 24th September
SVI provides prospective Honours, Masters and PhD students with opportunities in a variety of disease-focused research settings.
This year, our Virtual Open Day provides you with the opportunity to advance your career by pursuing further training in biomedical research.
You will be able to:
- Discuss projects with scientists leading our research programs and student projects
- Meet some of our current students (have a look here to meet some of our past and present students and find out why they chose SVI)
- Learn more about how to apply for student projects, and about our scholarship program
Visit our Student Research Projects page to learn more about the 2021 projects currently available, and which researchers you would like to meet during the Open Day. You can also contact the researchers directly with any specific questions about their student projects, using the contact details provided in their project summaries.
SVI Student Open Day Program
Online information session
Thursday 24th September
4:00pm - 6:00pm
Learn about studying at the Institute, hear from supervisors who are offering projects in the coming year and find out how to apply. Why SVI?
- For six decades SVI has taken on the challenge of fundamentally understanding and ultimately conquering common diseases; diseases like cancer, type 1 diabetes, bone diseases, metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and heart disease.
- SVI operates within one of the world’s most dynamic biomedical hubs. We are affiliated with St. Vincent’s Hospital (Melbourne), The University of Melbourne and are a member institution of the Mary Aikenhead Ministries. We are a partner in the Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery and collaborate with other national and international research institutes to maximize our impact.
- Our diverse range of learning and collaborative research environments in areas such as cell biology, protein structural biology, biochemistry, immunology, cell signalling and regenerative medicine; as well as clinical and bioinformatics research exposes our students to a broad range of career opportunities.
- Our researchers make great mentors! Here’s some advice from Associate Professor Jock Campbell for postgrads thinking of undertaking a PhD.
- While we undertake fundamental research, we have a strong business development and training program to help our researchers, and their discoveries, reach their full potential.
- We have an engaging and inclusive student society.
