The Burnet Institute continues to play an important role in education. We provide training in laboratory and social research with students from Australian and international universities undertaking postgraduate independent research projects across all of our program areas. We are also actively involved in the delivery of public health courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels through associations with the University of Melbourne, Monash University, Deakin University, LaTrobe University and Atma Jaya Catholic University in Indonesia.

Burnet has a number of PhD and Honors students from a variety of universities, both locally and internationally. Currently there are 24 PhD students and 13 Honors students under the supervision of our head researchers. In addition, Burnet also hosts Bachelor of Science
undergraduate students as part of their coursework.
