Research Winter School

The Research Winter School is an important event on the research calendar. The Faculty of Education views research as one of its core responsibilities and is committed to supporting its research students. The Winter School is aimed at research students; it provides a variety of workshops and seminars that would be useful to all research students at different stages of their candidature. There is a wide range of topics covered.

Attend the Winter School to satisfy your residency requirements!

All the External (off-campus) HDR students are eligible to apply for the Monash Travel Grant if they reside interstate or overseas. Travel Grant applicants must be presenting a paper in the MERC Conference and preferably attending sessions in the Winter School.
