If you are interested in research in HCI and CSCW you should read some of the papers on my Publications page, and review the work of my colleagues in the Interaction Design Group. Then contact the person whose interests appear to match your own.
If your track record is very good you may be competitive for a scholarship. Enrolment and scholarship information is available from the Melbourne School of Graduate Research.
