In recognition of the particular needs of students undertaking research towards a thesis, postgraduate research students are offered exclusive access to a computer lab on Level 5 of the Law School Building. The computer lab contains a number of shared work stations with PCs and a shared printer.

Postgraduate common room
We have designated a light-filled common room in the Law Building for all postgraduate students to relax and prepare refreshments. A kitchenette with fridge, microwave, tea and coffee making facilities plus a range of magazines and newspapers is provided for your convenience.
Sydney Law School events program
Sydney Law School produces an exciting program of seminars, lectures, workshops and conferences with expert presenters drawn from Australia and around the world. From informal staff lunchtime seminars to large public lectures by distinguished speakers, the program offers insights, analysis and discourse on a vast range of topics within the field of law. Research students are invited to actively participate in the program with access to discounts or free entry to select events.
As a postgraduate student you will automatically be subscribed to the events e-newsletter to stay informed of all events coming up in the Law School.
The current events program can be found at sydney.edu.au/law/events.
Postgraduate Research Conference
The annual Postgraduate Research Conference, an initiative of Sydney Law School, brings together research students from Australia and New Zealand to facilitate exchanges and provide a forum for the discussion of issues relevant to the experience of starting out as a legal researcher. All postgraduate research students are invited to participate.
Annual progress review
Each research student is given an opportunity to discuss their progress and provide feedback to the Associate Dean (Research) and the Review Committee at an annual progress review meeting. The purpose of the annual review is to assist research students to complete their research project within the maximum course duration. The annual review process also helps the Faculty to ensure that satisfactory progress is being made.
