Our GRE+D framework

We've designed our graduate training program around three central strengths: advance, lead and engage. Find out more about the training courses and workshops you'll be able to do once you've started your research degree with us.

Advance

Develop advanced discipline-specific knowledge. Learn how to apply critical and creative thinking. Investigate new practices that will progress inquiry.

Advance courses

Lead

Cultivate professional skills. Learn management practices. Build relevant experience that you can transfer to your future career.

Lead courses

Engage

Get authentic industry experience. Learn to work with others from different disciplines. Problem solve with an end user innovation focus.

Engage courses

Evaluate your skills

A skills assessment (using our specially designed HDR skills assessment tool) will help you identify gaps in your knowledge and employability. Once you understand the skills you'll need to develop, you can personalise your learning journey with our available workshops and modules.

You'll use your skills assessment throughout your degree as you continue developing your knowledge, making the most of your research experience.

Industry placements

Be ready for life after graduation with real networks and real experience.
