Graduate Certificate in Commercialisation for Research Students (GCCRS)
Are you doing a Research Higher Degree?
Want to get more out of it?
Look beyond the academic bounds of your research project. Explore the commercial potential of your research in the real world.
The Graduate Certificate in Commercialisation for Research Students (GCCRS) has been designed to equip the next generation of Australian researchers with the knowledge, skills and experience to bring their research ideas and innovations to the marketplace.
The GCCRS will help you better understand the commercial potential of your current research and enable you to plan for its future commercial benefit.
The GCCRS will enhance your student experience as well as your career prospects. Catering specifically for the needs of research students, the GCCRS aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of:
- the commercialisation process and activities commonly employed to bring research ideas and innovations to market.
- practical business know-how to take your research to a global marketplace.
- relevant technical commercialisation issues such as intellectual property management, financial management, project management and market research.
- interpersonal and communication skills crucial for research commercialisation, such as leadership, team work, and presentation skills.
Only domestic research students, who are currently enrolled in a research higher degree, are eligible to apply. The GCCRS is funded by a federal initiative known as the Commercialisation Training Scheme (CTS). The CTS provides payment of tuition fees associated with the GCCRS. RHD students in receipt of a scholarship may also be eligible for a living allowance stipend.
