HDR units of study
As a research student, depending on your faculty, school or course requirements, you may need to complete certain coursework units of study. You can also request access to units of study that you think will benefit your study.
HDR units of study
As of January 2024, for many higher degree by research students the mandatory requirement to complete units of study will be removed. Some University Schools and Faculties have opted to retain mandatory completion of some units of study. This page has information about the required units.
Students will still have the option of completing units of study that are of benefit to their degree but are not compulsory.
