HDR Communication Advisers

The HDR Communication Advisers help research candidates improve their ability to communicate their research. This is a key part of the journey to becoming independent researchers and is essential for both English speakers and candidates whose first language is not English. There are also free ‘English as an Additional Language’ workshops to support candidates from a Non-English speaking background. HDR Communication Advisers are available for one-to-one appointments in an online consultation. They can be contacted on hdrca@ecu.edu.au.
