Scholarships & Bursaries

Humanities in Place Engagement Scholarships (HiPES) offer two students the opportunity to work with industry partners to undertake research that will develop their academic and professional capabilities. In 2023, the School of Humanities in the College of Arts, Law and Education (CALE) is partnering with Tasmanian businesses and services to create projects that will push students to the edge of their learning. HiPES seeks to match Humanities students with exciting projects in the Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) sector. With the support of a UTAS Humanities supervisor and the partner institution, each student will complete a selected research project. The academic output will depend on the nature of the project and the student’s area of academic specialisation, but typically will comprise a written Honours thesis, or a creative piece with an exegesis. Each student will also create an agreed industry output for the use of the partner organisation. Previous projects have produced blog entries and short stories; other possibilities are educational materials, a podcast, or an online exhibition. The details of these contributions will be decided between the student, supervisor, and partner organisation.
