Summer and Winter Research Programs

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit's summer and winter research program provides Indigenous students with the opportunity to gain practical research experience while working alongside some of UQ's leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander academics and researchers.

What to expect

By participating in a research program, you'll take part in a project that will help you gain valuable academic and professional experience, develop analytical and critical thinking, and have the chance to create networks with industry and academic contacts.

As a research scholar, you'll receive a scholarship equivalent of $2,000 over the 4-week program (29 July – 24 July 2026).
