GREAT - Graduate Research Education and Training

"Murdoch University is committed to the recruitment of high quality Australian and international students and to providing and exciting, vibrant, demanding and excellent research training experience that takes place in an environment of research active supervisors who have a good track record in successful and timely completions"

The Graduate Research Education and Training (GREAT) program had been developed by the Murdoch University Graduate Centre to provide training and support to research students.

The GREAT program offers a range of courses and workshops designed to assist postgraduate researchers in their academic progress and development. Students who are at different stages of their research degree may find some modules more relevant than others and may choose which modules they they wish to attend.

Faculty and discipline specific courses and training are provided throughout the GREAT program and by some Schools and Faculties. These are usually promoted via e-mail, so students should make sure to update their e-mail addresses via MyInfo

Postgraduate Researchers are also able to apply for admission for professional development courses run by human resources. These places are limited and enrolment is necessary. Courses on offer can be checked at Human Resources

The Graduate Centre will be updating the GREAT program throughout the year and will consider offering courses where student feedback indicates that demand exists. If you would like to discuss the range of courses on offer, provide feedback or make suggestions please contact:

Suzanne Knuiman at the Graduate Centre via e-mail or telephone 9360 2740

Not all seminars require enrolment, but please not that places in some modules may be limited, so please register as early as possible but do let us know if you later find that you will be unable to attend. Places will be allocated in the order that enrolments are received. Extra workshops will be offered where there is sufficient demand.

Most units do not charge for attendance, however, you may be charged if you enrol but do not attend some courses offered by Human Resources.

Tea and Coffee will be provided.

Please complete the evaluation sheets provided at seminars.
