It is expected that registrants will attend both days. If for some reason you are unable to attend the whole event, you will need to email the Researcher Development Unit at researcher-development@uow.edu.au as soon as possible to make alternative arrangements. 

We encourage all students who are able to to attend HDR Induction in-person. This event is designed for live, in-person delivery to allow for questions, discussions and activities. We understand, however, that this will not be possible for some, specifically those not yet in the country. Students who are unable to attend in-person will be able to join online.

If you know you will not be able to attend induction in-person, when registering please select that you will be attending online. If you register to attend in person, but circumstances mean you are unable to make it and would like to join online instead, please contact the Researcher Development Unit at researcher-development@uow.edu.au to let them know. 

During the HDR Induction event attendees will receive essential information about their candidature, learn ways to succeed, and meet others in their cohort. They will gain insight into the process of an HDR degree, important information about ethics and research integrity, and an understanding of the various support services available to students, as well as much more. 

Please bring your phone, a note pad and pen. You will be required to write notes and may also be asked to scan QR codes to access certain web content.

The Graduate Research School aims to provide you with a thriving and inclusive space to learn and conduct world-class research through your chosen degree. We want you to aim big, learn from your supervisors and peers, and ultimately make a difference in your community or research area.

If you still need to enrol in your course and/or subjects, please follow the handy guides available on the UOW website.

Traffic and parking is expected to be busy during session. Consider alternatives to driving like a bus, the train, cycling, or walking. UOW buses are scheduled to get you to the campus quickly during peak times. If you must drive, consider carpooling with others for free parking, or arrive early. Please take care when driving particularly on the M1 Princes Motorway and be patient.

Many students say one of the best parts of the university experience is living in a residence. UOW Student Residences offer vibrant communities, with students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our residents enjoy being part of an active community, and many make friends for life.
