HDR End of Year Celebration
Thank you to all HDR students, supervisors and support community who came to celebrate with us at the End of Year celebration on Tuesday. It was a fantastic opportunity to get together as a community and take a minute to acknowledge and celebrate the hard work and dedication of each and every one of you.

 

Meet the PhD researchers making inspiring real-world change
Studying a PhD can lead to discoveries and innovations that have a lasting impact on the world we live in. But it can also be a deeply rewarding experience, allowing the student to dive deeply into a field or topic to create new knowledge.
