    Hello,

    Can't get a definite answer. If one undertakes a part-time study (by research, meaning no classes, etc.), is she or he eligible for the dole?

    (e) Postgraduate (research) students :

    Students pursuing a course at Postgraduate level by research only, who do not have fixed lectures or holidays but who work "at their own pace" until the thesis is submitted should have their entitlement examined. Each case should be examined on an individual basis to ensure that the general availability/ GSW conditions are satisfied.

    That applies to Masters students certainly (as I availed of it), but not sure does it extend top PhD
