Honours students
Melbourne Children's Campus Honours Program
Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) and the University of Melbourne Department of Paediatrics, based at the Melbourne Children's Campus, have exciting and diverse research projects that encompass laboratory, clinical and public health projects. Our supervisors are leading international researchers with the time, dedication and mentoring skills to ensure students succeed in their studies and develop skills to pursue a career in research.
Conducting research at MCRI while doing coursework through the Department of Paediatrics, all here on Campus with a large cohort of students provides an ideal Honours experience.
While the majority are enrolled through the Honours program at the Department of Paediatrics, we also host many students enrolled in other departments from the University of Melbourne, Monash University, Swinburne University, La Trobe University and Deakin University, as well as others.
