The Orientation Session for higher degree by research (HDR) students (doctoral and masters by research) sets the scene for research study at Curtin and includes hints for surviving your first year and beyond.
We recommend you also attend other activities offered around the University to get familiar with the campus, your specific school/department and key areas such as the library.
