Current research graduate candidates
The GRES and Welcome
Firstly, I’d like to welcome all our new Higher Degree Research (HDR) students commencing at Charles Sturt University and I look forward to meeting you online or face to face in the coming months. I am the Dean, Graduate Research and I oversee the HDR student journey from commencement through to graduation.
However, I do not do this alone. At Charles Sturt, our research services / graduate studies teams work collaboratively to ensure the HDR journey at Charles Sturt is a quality one. We also ask for your input, particularly in terms of how our services and supports impact on your HDR experience.
One of the ways we seek your feedback is through the annual Graduate Research Experience Survey (GRES) which is designed to provide insights about the experiences of our candidates during their research program. We use the results to identify areas where there are gaps or opportunities for improvement, to inform new initiatives and highlight what we are doing well. The GRES also includes an opportunity for you to provide verbal feedback via an interview or focus group.
Please take the time to contribute to the GRES when it is released between October – November or if you want to provide feedback in the interim, please feel free to email me at; deangradresearch@CSU.edu.au
