Commercialisation Training Scheme

The Commercialisation Training Scheme (CTS) is introduced in 2007 by the Commonwealth Government to provide high quality research commercialisation training for the next generation of Australian researchers as a means of equipping them with the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to bring research-based ideas, inventions and innovations to market.

At the University of Sydney, CTS training will require the selected students to concurrently enrol in (on a part-time basis) and complete the Graduate Certificate in Innovation and Enterprise (GCertInn&Ent) at the Faculty of Economics and Business in addition to their Masters by Research or Doctorate degree. Each CTS place will provide the normal tuition fees for the GCertInn&Ent and a living allowance.

From 2009, eligible students can apply for a CTS place to commence the GCertInn&Ent in either Summer school or Semester one. No intake will be available for Semester two.
