Thinking about your Confirmation Progress Review and still have no idea about your research design? ISSR courses can inform your methodological and analytical decisions or help with providing data collection methods to consider. The Graduate School has subscribed to selected ISSR courses that are open to UQ HDR candidates only, because these spaces are funded by the Student Services and Amenities Fees paid by UQ HDR candidates. Spaces are highly limited and registration through Student Hub is compulsory; walk-ins will be turned away at the door. Registration opening dates are indicated in the Session information.

Please note that these are held at Long Pocket. A free shuttle bus runs regularly from the St Lucia campus to Long Pocket. The trip takes 10 to 15 minutes each way.
