Starting out on your HDR journey can be challenging and for many students’ feelings of anxiety, ‘imposter syndrome’ and confusion can hamper progress.
REACH P2P mentorship provides valuable advice, feedback and support across the first 12 months of your candidature from a fellow student from your faculty. It isn't intended to replace your supervisors, nor to give academic advice, but a mentor will provide you with a friend, ally and support as you find your way.
We are now inviting Expressions of Interest from HDR Candidates in all faculties who wish to participate as Mentors or Mentees in the next REACH P2P HDR Mentoring program commencing in August 2024.
