Are you struggling with motivation or feeling disengaged from your thesis? Do you need help reconnecting with your research? Is your wellbeing or other circumstances impacting your progress?
We invite you to apply for Thesis Fest, a two-day, in-person event hosted by the Curtin University Library focused on supporting Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students with research skills and wellbeing. The program is designed to help you re-engage with your research, and to assist and motivate you to work towards final submission with confidence and success.
By attending, you will gain strategies and ideas to support you with both the progress of your research and your wellbeing. This will also be an opportunity to connect you with other students sharing the same journey, as well as with people and support services at Curtin to help with your progression.
