At the University of Newcastle there are over 1300 Higher Degree by Research students making breakthrough discoveries and solving the world’s most formidable problems.
The University’s HDR Student Festival features a range of conference-style activities in each School, as well as University-wide events to showcase the excellence and innovation of our HDR cohort. The Festival will help students raise their profile as they build and practice their presentation skills. The wider University community is invited to be a part of the exciting program of events.
The full program is now available and you can register to attend any of the sessions through the dedicated app and web portal.
