Postgraduate Student Resources

This group provides an opportunity for:

• Exploring writing styles and techniques
• Discussing theoretical frameworks and thesis arguments
• Sharing bibliographical references, and
• Discussing strategies for completion and what is required in a thesis.

In particular, PhD and Research Masters Students at the chapter-writing stage of thesis completion are encouraged to attend these group workshops, however the group will benefit research students at any level and at any stage of completion.

The aim of the workshops is for postgraduate students to develop an interdisciplinary collegial network and to read and comment on chapter drafts as works in progress. Dates and times of meetings to be advised.

Library Searching, Endnote, Writing and Publishing, Presentations, Web Design, Statistics and more. These workshops are held at both Townsville and Cairns.
