- Graduate Research School
The Graduate Research School (GRS) at UNSW brings together, under one structure, the range of services required to support postgraduate research students and their supervisors. It is committed to excellence in research training and the provision of a high quality research training experience for postgraduate research students.
The Graduate Research School is dedicated to nurturing postgraduate research students, and will ensure that the graduate research student experience, across all Faculties, is set at ‘best practice' in terms of supervision, resources and facilities, from admission, scholarship, induction and skills development through to review and reporting, thesis examination and completion.
The Graduate Research School also provides a focal point where graduate students can feel more involved and valued as part of the University's research community.
Professor Margaret Harding is the Pro Vice-Chancellor Research Strategy and the Dean of Graduate Research.
