The School of Medical and Health Sciences offers several avenues for Higher Degree by Research (HDR) programs.
Each year the ECU School of Medical and Health Sciences host a HDR Information Symposium for prospective Masters by Research and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) students. This event:
- Introduces attendees to different enrolment and course options and scholarship opportunities
- Introduces core research areas across the two Schools (including available projects)
- Provides an avenue to meet potential HDR supervisors from different disciplines
- Showcases some of the research lab spaces available to ECU HDR students.
Last year the SMHS Early-Mid Career Researcher Committee invited potential students to the FREE 2023 Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Information symposium. It was an opportunity to listen to guest speakers about the HDR journey and have a chat with staff and supervisors.
Check out the research topic videos.
