Postgraduate Culture
HUMCASS has over 30 postgraduate research students enrolled in on-campus mode at either Gippsland or Caulfield Campuses, as well as by off-campus (external) mode.
All students present a paper annually on their thesis research at the School’s Reporting Back Day held in November. Students are also encouraged to attend the School’s regular research seminars. Students interested in publishing their research are encouraged to participate in the Arts Faculty’s Graduate Researchers in Print workshops.
