Research degrees
The Donald Dyer Scholarship for Public Relations and Communication is
the largest research scholarship available in Australia for
communication practitioners. Backed by the Public Relations Institute of
Australia (PRIA), and made possible by a generous bequest from the
estate of the late Sylvia Dyer, the scholarship offers the opportunity
to further develop advanced research in PR, normally at a PhD level.
Early career and experienced practitioners are encouraged to consider
the career option of PR research.
Candidates normally complete a PhD in 4 years; however, the trustees of the Scholarship will consider part-time scholarships for those applicants who prefer to continue to work. Marketing, Advertising and Communication/PR practitioners are encouraged to consider this scholarship.
Applications are invited for a postgraduate research degree scholarship from persons with a first class honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant undergraduate field of study. The successful applicant for the Scholarship will be required to undertake research in a specific topic in the fields of public relations, communications management.
