THINKING OF DOING AN HONOURS PROJECT?

MAPrc has a great range of projects available for higher degree students. You will be supervised by experts in your chosen field and have the opportunity to work with the latest cutting edge neuro-technologies. MAPrc is situated in the heart of a major Melbourne teaching hospital, The Alfred. This creates a powerful connection between researchers and people who will benefit from our work. We conduct numerous projects with people suffering mental illness such as schizophrenia, depression, bipolar affective disorder, cPTSD, and many more.

We are offering a number of Honours projects in 2024 at MAPrc. For further information about the different projects, please contact our centre.
