HDR candidates

As supervisors, we need to know who our HDR candidates are and what motivates their research. Afterall, what motivates our own research may vary from our student's motivation to undertake research. Further information is also available of the differences between supervisors and candidates, in relation to student experiences and conceptions of research.

To help you do this we have outlined:

  1. Student motivation to study: this page summarises the many reasons students have for doing a PhD or MPhil.

  2. Demographic information provides information about student origins, gender breakdown, distribution of degrees by discipline, and much more.
