HDR Webinar | Advocating for yourself through your PhD

Booking required, HDR postgraduate, Research Postgraduate, Seminars, Via Zoom

MGA Senior Advocate Zuzana Quinn will share her observations about the common challenges faced by PhD students and the potential ways to overcome them. 

Completing a PhD can be daunting and onerous. HDR students invariably come up against roadblocks such as milestone anxiety, supervision issues and authorship uncertainty. As you continue to navigate your research degree, you'll learn how important it is to be your own greatest advocate. But how do you do this?

MGA Senior Advocate Zuzana Quinn has had decades of experience advising students just like you. She has a wealth of knowledge and anecdotes from past students to share. 

Zuzana will share her wisdom, along with a topical case study, and then field any questions you may have for her.

We will also be joined by a representative from the Monash Graduate Research Office (MGRO) to talk about what they do, particularly relating to leave entitlements and grants.

If you have questions about supervision or advocacy relating to your research degree, then this is the webinar for you!
