If you are unable to attend, please contact hdr-development@uow.edu.au as soon as possible.
We encourage all students to attend HDR Induction in-person. This event is designed for live, in-person delivery to allow for questions, discussions and activities. There will also be networking opportunities - particularly the 'Lunch with Your Research Community' session.
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.
Please bring your phone, a note pad and pen. You will be required to scan QR codes to sign in and access certain web content.
The Graduate Research and Research Culture (GRRC) 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.
