Undertaking your research degree within the Wine Innovation Cluster through the University of Adelaide has many unique benefits, including:

• Access to supervisors across the partner institutions enables students to access a broad range of skills and the very best in supervision.
• Collaboration amongst supervisors means that students with specialist science backgrounds can move to wine based research without being specialist wine students.
• At the Wine Innovation Cluster there is a broad range of science specialisations having a focus on wine, rather than wine people having a focus on science creating unique opportunities
  • for collaboration
  • to make a greater impact
  • for more exciting work
  • to be part of "something bigger"
• There is a critical mass of students on Waite and a collegiate culture. Student facilities (science and social) are excellent.
• Students can readily develop a "clear path" for their research project, timelines and completion period.
• Between them, the Wine Innovation Cluster partners employ many post-doctoral fellows providing potential opportunities to continue research after degree completion.
• All partners have a focus on the relentless pursuit of scientific excellence.
