We’re excited to introduce the Graduate Research Enhancement and Academic Training (GREAT) online modules — a valuable resource designed to support all HDR candidates at Charles Sturt University. This essential resource will guide you through every stage of your candidature, from starting out to submitting your thesis.

- Being a Responsible Researcher: Learn research ethics, academic integrity, intellectual property, and practical steps for preparing ethics applications.
- Working with Your Supervisor: Build effective relationships, set realistic expectations, and navigate feedback and challenges.
- Reviewing the Literature: Master strategies for finding, evaluating, and critically appraising literature for your review.
- Writing Your Thesis: Get step-by-step guidance on thesis structure, drafting chapters, and preparing for submission.
- Communicating Your Research: Explore publishing options, understand copyright, and share your findings with wider audiences.
- Planning Your Career: Identify career pathways, network with professionals, and prepare compelling resumes and interview strategies.
- Wellbeing & Balanced Researcher: Develop resilience, balance commitments, and promote personal and professional wellbeing throughout your journey.
