HDR Development Program
Expand your horizons, sharpen your research skills, and connect with your peers through Graduate Research School's HDR Development Program. Below are this semester’s training and development opportunities, wellbeing initiatives, events, and writing intensives.
Skills Development Framework
Each HDR Development workshop aligns with at least one skill in the Researcher Development Skills Framework (RDSF). The Q Reference (e.g. Q1.2) indicates which skills are addressed in the workshop. Online workshops are recorded at the discretion of the workshop presenter with the recording shared with registrants. Wellbeing sessions are not recorded.
Workshops
We offer a program of workshops and events each semester to cater to all stages of HDR candidacy and the development needs of our HDR candidates.
Semester 1 training and development opportunities, wellbeing initiatives, events, and writing intensives are all listed in detail on Inkpath. Login to Inkpath to see details and register for events.

HDR Orientation
HDR Orientation provides a foundation for starting a research degree through a series of presentations and workshops.
Orientation occurs at the beginning of each semester. All HDR students are invited.
If you are a continuing student but would like to revisit an orientation session, you are welcome to register and attend.
Three Minute Thesis
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic research communication competition developed by (UQ).
海角射区 Three Minute Thesis heats are held mid-year across the University’s five faculties. Finalists progress to the UC 3MT Final where they present their pitch to a judging panel in front of a live audience.
Competitors aim to convince the judges and audience of their research significance in no more than three minutes, for a chance to win the $4,000 first place prize, $2,000 for the runner up, and $1,000 people’s choice prize.
