What our new PGR Students said about Orientation

PGR Student
#1

I found the Q&A really helpful as we got first hand lived experience and I think this is always helpful. I also enjoyed the market place and was able to see what the UoA has to offer to support our journey

The Q&A panel was the most impactful for me because of the candid discussion of the realities of being a PG Researcher. Thank you for including that as part of the event.

The topics covered in the Orientation, particularly the Supervisor-Student Relationship discussion, was really helpful.
