Seminar expectations of HDR candidates
As an HDR candidate you are normally required to deliver at least three seminar papers within your relevant School during your candidacy.
The Schools will convene regular seminars for research and the professional development of HDR students. All HDR students whether full time or part time, on or off campus, will be required to participate. As a minimum requirement for satisfactory progress, each student will deliver a research paper on his or her thesis in each of the three years or phases of candidature, or every two years if part time.
There are three different presentations reflecting each major phase of the research
Initial phase: Thesis proposal or statement of intent
- This task forms the first and most crucial part of your future confirmation colloquium
Middle phase: Work in progress
- This task is an opportunity to incorporate feedback from your confirmation colloquium
- This task can be particularly useful in preparing University annual reviews
Final phase: Research findings
- This task is a crucial part of your supervisory completion review
- This task also acts as a check on the final direction of your thesis
The underlying purpose of the HDR seminars is:
- to encourage constructive comment from staff and peers
- to enhance presentation skills
- to enable self evaluation of progress
