All new research higher degree candidates are warmly invited to attend the 2012 Orientation program.

The 2012 handbook will be distributed to you at the program.  The handbook has important information about the conditions of your enrolment and resources and includes advice about how to set up your new candidature and the first year reporting milestones. A handbook will be posted to you if you are unable to attend.
