Enhancing Researcher Knowledge and Skills

Enhancing Researcher Knowledge and Skills provides students with an opportunity to undertake a program of advanced study in order to gain mastery of an area of their discipline or of advanced skills related to their research project (either Year 1 Thesis in the PhD Integrated or the Masters project), as agreed by their academic supervisor and GRS coursework coordinator.


This study program is usually oriented around an engagement with relevant scholarly literature reviews and the explicit positioning of the student project within those fields of knowledge. However, where supervisors consider that there is a more customised set of skills required by the student in order to undertake the project, there is scope to negotiate a slightly more tailored program of work to reflect this. This individualised program of work is confirmed by supervisor and GRS and will be reflected in a Key Elements Guide to the unit learning objectives as applicable to the particular student and project, in addition to the research activities and assessment tasks by which they will be demonstrated.
