The Faculty of Medicine will provide a UQ‐supported desktop or laptop to our PhD and MPhil students, if required, when they commence their candidature (excluding HDRs in Partnering Units: QIMR Berghofer, MRI‐UQ and the UQ Poche Centre. These units offer support to their HDR students directly). The Faculty scheme fully funds a selected desktop or laptop model or subsidises the cost of other device options.

NEW: ITS approval to purchase a non-standard computer

UQ’s IT Services have negotiated a catalogue of standard IT items from preferred suppliers, to improve IT procurement costs and delivery times. As of November 2023, if you require a computer that is not listed in UQ’s standard catalogue, you now require approval to purchase from UQ ITS before requesting your computer though the FOM HDR computing support scheme. See Option 5 in the first section below.
