Graduate study in RMAP

RMAP provides PhD training in various aspects of resource management in the Asia Pacific Region. Students currently working with RMAP are working in the broad research fields of Environment and Anthropology. Students with interests in other research fields are also welcome to apply. Students are encouraged to undertake multidisciplinary projects that involve social and biophysical aspects of resource management. Students are supervised by staff in RMAP but research collaboration with other areas of RSPAS and the ANU is encouraged.

A PhD bridging program [PDF, 92KB] is available for students who require preparatory training in the social dimensions of resource management
