Postgraduate retreat
Leadership in academia
Postgraduate students researching Southeast Asia are invited to attend our annual postgraduate retreat. Over 3 days, the program builds your leadership in research, communication skills, and interdisciplinary approaches.
Being a leader in an academic context is not just about being excellent at research. It also requires being clear about your values, making strategic choices about your time, and being able to communicate your position with others.
In this postgraduate retreat we will focus on a range of skills that you can use to enhance your ability to make strategic decisions and manage relationships with your peers and colleagues during your PhD candidature and beyond.
Registration is now closed and will open again in semester 2, 2018.
