The Forrest Research Foundation, hosted at the University of Western Australia (UWA) in Crawley, primarily supports advanced postgraduate research rather than undergraduate courses. However, as it operates within UWA's ecosystem, the campus facilitates PhD-level programs in cutting-edge fields aligned with the foundation's mission to foster scientific excellence. Key areas of focus include biomedical sciences, environmental sustainability, and innovative technologies.

  • Biomedical and Life Sciences: PhD candidates explore molecular biology, neuroscience, and genetics, conducting research on disease mechanisms, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. Projects often involve advanced lab work at facilities like the Bayliss Building, where the foundation is based.

  • Engineering and Physical Sciences: Emphasis on materials science, quantum computing, and sustainable engineering. Scholars develop nanotechnology applications and energy-efficient systems, benefiting from collaborative grants provided by the foundation.
  • Interdisciplinary Research: The foundation encourages cross-disciplinary PhD projects combining AI with biology or engineering with environmental policy, promoting holistic problem-solving for global challenges.

While not directly teaching courses, the foundation enhances UWA's offerings through scholarships, mentorship, and access to world-class resources.

This environment cultivates leaders in research, with alumni contributing to academia, industry, and policy. The Crawley campus's state-of-the-art labs, libraries, and collaborative spaces support rigorous inquiry, ensuring graduates are equipped for impactful careers.
