Graduate research

  • The Advanced Studies program supports and enhances the important role of the discipline-based programs providing expert supervision to students through a structured induction into postgraduate life, an emphasis on the research skills training necessary to achieve research success and the successful launch of professional careers for all our graduates.

    We focus on building and sustaining our graduate research community through cohort activities which bring together students and academics and support the intellectual and professional development of all our postgraduates. We engage our Honours students in this endeavour recognizing the important pathways through Honours into higher degree research.
