As the year winds down come along to the UQ Lakes Amphitheatre this Friday (28 Nov) and grab a free coffee with UQ Wellbeing while meeting koalas and wombats at APS' Koala Encounters at their HDR Week (24-28 Nov)!   

This is a relaxed end-of-year gathering where students can come together to share highlights of the year and look forward to what is next. This event isn’t about grades or deadlines — it’s about building connections in a welcoming atmosphere. 

Highlights 

  • Complimentary coffee and light bites 

  • Opportunities to connect with other students with fun prompts to spark conversations 

  • Meet some cute koalas and wombats 

About HDR Week

Celebrating the contribution our HDRs make to UQ and beyond.

HDR Candidates play an important role within The University of Queensland. HDR Week is a chance to celebrate our HDR candidates and thank them for their contributions. The week includes networking events, and social activities to recognise the hard work they put into their HDR journey and the important contribution they make to our university community. In 2025,  in partnership with the UQ Association of Postgraduate Students (APS)we will celebrate HDR Week from 24-28 November.
