Why study at DASI
DASI has approximately 25 full and part-time Higher Degree Research (HDR) students. In addition, DASI staff are also engaged in research activities as Early Career Researchers (ECR).
DASI has a diverse range of Research Themes that are broadly applied across several defence and industry domains. Through these Research Themes, students have access to high calibre research staff within DASI and its partner organisations such as Australian Defence Organisation, Commonwealth Government departments and large and small private organisations.
In addition, DASI is internationally recognised for its research in systems engineering, test and evaluation and information assurance activities and has collaborative partnerships with international organisations and universities.
DASI researchers actively seek and have been successful in several nationally and internationally competitive research grants (NSST, ARC Linkage and ARC Discovery grants), leading to research activities in cutting edge and high-demand areas such as information security, forensic computing and counter terrorism among others.
The DASI advantage
DASI's post graduate research degree programs are unique in that they recognize and support the need for truly multi-disciplinary work in the systems engineering field.
DASI's expertise covers many aspects of high level systems engineering and as well as the more traditional detailed topics.
DASI provides middle level and senior staff who are, or wish to be, working in systems areas with valuable education and training in a topic of crucial interest to their duties as a senior engineer or scientist. In doing so the candidate will also make an important contribution to the advancement of global systems engineering and evaluation.
This form of education can be regarded as an alternative to the traditional MBA: it prepares engineers and scientists for promotion to higher management in knowledge based organizations in the information technology industry.
