Menzies scholarships open doors Every year the Menzies Foundation inspires and nurtures Australia’s future leaders to take the next step in their careers, by providing access to Australia’s leading postgraduate scholarships. The Foundation supports prestigious postgraduate scholarships and fellowships in medical and allied health research, engineering and law as well as Menzies Scholarships to Harvard in wide range of disciplines. Why does the Menzies Foundation support scholarships? Before he became Australia’s longest-serving prime minister, Robert Gordon Menzies spent his childhood in the small town of Jeparit in rural Victoria. From the age of 13 he secured scholarships to complete his secondary and tertiary education in Melbourne. He went on to an outstanding life of public service in law, politics and national leadership. His extraordinary story exemplifies the transformative power of education. It has been the inspiration for the Menzies Foundation in supporting more than 200 talented young Australians with Menzies scholarships and fellowships. Many Menzies scholars are now leaders in their fields, just like the 2006 NHMRC/RG Menzies Fellow, Dr Nick Huntington. The NHMRC/RG Menzies Fellowship The NHMRC/RG Menzies Fellowship provides for advanced training in health and medical research for two years overseas and a further two years in Australia.

Degree Planning A comprehensive overview of the different law degree progressions to help you plan ahead. Study and Professional Experiences Discover the opportunities offered at USYD Law from exchange to international volunteering. Acknowledgments We acknowledge the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land that the University of Sydney is built upon, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge that this was and always will be Aboriginal Land and are proud to be on the lands of one of the oldest surviving cultures in existence. We respect the knowledge that traditional elders and Aboriginal people hold and pass on from generation to generation, and acknowledge the continuous fight for constitutional reform and treaty recognition to this day. We regret that white supremacy has been used to justify Indigenous dispossession, colonial rule and violence in the past, in particular, a legal and political system that still to this date doesn’t provide Aboriginal people with justice. Many thanks to everyone who made the production and publication of the 2020 Sydney University Law Society Education Guide possible. In particular, we would like to thank Rita Shackel (Associate Dean of Education), the Sydney Law School and the University of Sydney Union for their continued support of SULS and its publications.

  • Request for Formal Retraction of Infamous Australian Paradox Paper
    Rory Robertson 20 April 2016 Request for formal retraction of infamous Australian Paradox paper Dear members of the Senior Executive Group of the University of Sydney, and outside observers, I'm sorry to have to write to many of you again about the Charles Perkins Centre's Australian Paradox scandal. I will try to be brief, providing the relevant history and a four-point argument for the formal retraction of the infamous paper: http://sydney.academia.edu/AlanBarclay ; http://www.australianparadox.com/pdf/OriginalAustralianParadoxPaper.pdf For starters, note that an ABC Lateline report last week confirmed my assessment that the paper is extraordinarily faulty, has false conclusions and works to damage public health: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2015/s4442720.htm As I explained in 2014 to the Academic Board - which did not reply - Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Jill Trewhella's "Initial Inquiry" into this matter was an epic fail, with the Initial Inquiry Report wrong on five of its seven "Preliminary Findings of Fact": http://www.australianparadox.com/pdf/Letter-Academic-Board-Inquiry-Report.pdf Disturbingly, Professor Trewhella and her hand-picked independent investigator Professor Robert Clark AO combined to blatantly "bury" the fact that the Australian Paradox paper features a faked, falsified, made-up flat line. Call it whatever you like, but please check out Figure 6 (p.5 below). The suppression of the fake-data issue is “PROBLEM 1” in my response to the mistake-riddled Initial Inquiry Report: http://www.australianparadox.com/pdf/RR-response-to-inquiry-report.pdf Further, Professor Trewhella and Professor Clark combined "not to notice" that the authors’ own published charts of valid indicators - reproduced on the next three pages - spectacularly contradict the author’s mistaken claim of "a significant and substantial decline" in the consumption of added sugar over their chosen 1980-2010 timeframe.
