Networks

"Some of the best advice about how to make my project work came from other postgrad students."

Building professional networks is one of the most important tasks in the first year of a PhD. At this stage, you may not know now when and how certain people may be able to help you and your project (and vice versa) but don't wait until you need help before identifying potential sources of assistance.

Time and effort spent now on developing a supportive and stimulating network of colleagues and associates will pay off down the track. Believe us - no student completes a PhD entirely on his/her own!

So get active now and start thinking about your local research community and ways to get more involved.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
