During your candidature, you should regularly participate in workshops to enhance your research, career, and life skills.  You might, for example, watch online videos, participate in conferences, and attend CDU workshops, either in person or online.  At a minimum, you must

  • complete the recommended training on research integrity

Research Enhancement Program

Research-based workshops provide skills training for Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students, supervisors and staff.

All students commencing a Higher Degree by Research program are required to participate in a minimum of five generic skills workshops/seminars throughout their candidature.  The training helps you develop the skills to complete your degree and establish a career afterwards.
