Also, our research team on "Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities," which is made up of the following individuals, will provide you with expert advice for your original thesis:

• The Institute for Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities

• The Centre of Policy Studies (CoPS)

• The Centre for International Research on Education Systems (CIRES).

Additionally, VU offers exceptional opportunities for studying Indigenous history and society in our Moondani Balluk research section.

Besides that, your chosen area of study, which could be anything from the arts to business to computer science to education to engineering to economics to science to law to sociology, will cover important contemporary issues like:

• Climate change

• Cultural diversity, arts and social justice

• Technology in future industries, education, and policy
