Australian universities have fostered research into Myanmar as a part of their relationship with the Southeast Asian region.

Myanmar is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia by area. It's diverse population numbers approximately 56.6 million. Regionally it has relationships with other countries in the region through borders, trade and industry. Myanmar's political engagement with Australia has changed significantly over the decades, at times permitting extensive research.

Australian research has included studies into health, agriculture, environmental, political, security, legal, social and economic issues. History has also been a significant area of study.

The diversity of research supports scholarship around the world. Importantly University libraries are increasingly digitising their theses, making the research easily accessible to those within Myanmar and others around the world. 

This report contains information on theses completed at Australian universities other than ANU. A detailed listing of ANU theses can be found hereThe data for this report was drawn from the Australian National Bibliographic Database through searching Trove.

The guide was compiled by Nithiwadee Chitravas and Roxanne Missingham. We are grateful to those who provided advice throughout the project. We aim to update the guide with new theses as these are awarded. We hope this report encourages future research and makes the theses more accessible.
