- Enrolled doctoral students are encouraged to plan ahead for their future research internship. You can co-design the R&D internship project with the research end-user organisation (REU) and plan how it might contribute to your thesis & professional development.
- A good time to do this is when you are preparing your Research Proposal and your completion plan to accommodate a minimum of 60 business days over 3 months for a research internship any time to suit your completion plan.
- Check the Professional Development events & attend a HDR Research Internship Seminar & Q&As via HDRhub.
- In HDRhub, add your own Goal to submit a research internship agreement before 18 months on commencement of full time studies, or part time equivalent 36 months.
