A PhD is not only a training in research, but a formative time in developing as a researcher and member of a broader academic community. The Mental Health PhD Program offers an invaluable opportunity to build meaningful connections, develop cross-disciplinary insight, and stay grounded in the wider purpose of mental health research.

MHPP Coordinator

MHPP Event Coordinators

The Mental Health PhD Program has a new online platform with a team of Event Coordinators. This is a team of current MHPP PhD students who help organise events and provide a true cohort experience. The invaluable contributions of these wonderful MHPP members is what makes the Program truly great!

It is also a great way for members to work on their transferable skills, expand their CVs and create a vast multidisciplinary network with the University of Melbourne. If you would like to join the MHPP and are perhaps interested in taking on the role of Event Coordinator for some time during your PhD journey then please visit the application tab here. We would love to hear from you!

Centre for Youth Mental Health

Mental health is one of the greatest challenges facing Australia, and the world, in the coming decades.  To face this major challenge, we require interdisciplinary preclinical and research reaching across neurobiology, psychology, psychiatry, and other key disciplines.  The Mental Health PhD Program brings together our extraordinarily talented cohort of graduate research students associated with the University of Melbourne and its affiliated institutions, to enhance their academic experience, diversity their research skills and prepare them to be future leaders, helping to enhance mental health through research discovery and translational innovation.
