Indigenous Students in Higher Degrees by Research. Statistical Report, August 2019
Australian Government Department of Education
The 2016 "Review of Australia's Research Training System" (the Review), conducted by the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA), included a discussion of the representation of equity groups in higher degree by research (HDR) training. The discussion had a particular focus on the low representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in HDR training. In response to the Review, the Research Training Implementation Plan (RTIP) was developed by a working group comprised of representatives from the higher education, government and industry sectors, including Indigenous and HDR student representatives. RTIP was released by the Australian Government in December 2017 and includes a number of action items related to the participation of equity groups in HDR training. This report responds to those commitments and should be read in conjunction with RTIP progress reports. It covers enrolments, commencements and completions for Indigenous HDR (predominately master's by research and doctorate by research) over the period 2006 to 2017 as collected through the Higher Education Student Data Collection (HESDC), and presents the results of a survey on Indigenous access to scholarships conducted by the Department of Education and Training in 2018. The data includes all institutions that enrol HDR students, both universities and one other higher education provider. Given the size of the cohort, the data refers to individual students, not equivalent full-time student load (EFTSL). All data is based on custom requests to the department's internal databases.
