ACU National Postgraduate Association
The ACU National Postgraduate Association was formed in 2009 to provide avenues of formal and informal support to ACU postgraduate students. In doing so, the ACU National Postgraduate Association also seeks to regularly run networking events, seminars, and professional development activities aimed toward enhancing the research and writing skills of postgraduate students.
The ACU National Postgraduate Association currently has active branches at the state level in Melbourne and Brisbane. We are currently seeking convenors for the Ballarat, Canberra, and Sydney campuses.
Aims of the ACU Postgraduate Association:
- Create avenues of support and networking amongst current and past ACU postgraduate research students
- Provide an educative focus by meeting the specific research needs of postgraduate students such as workshops and seminars
- Invite guest speakers and past graduates to speak to / mentor current postgraduate students
- Host videoconference meetings for postgraduate students
- Work with the Australian Catholic University National Students Association (ACUNSA) in representing postgraduate student needs
Membership of the ACU National Postgraduate Association is free, and is open to all ACU National postgraduate students.
Please contact a convenor for more information.
