Support for HDR students

Currently enrolled students in higher degree research at the School of Agriculture and Food Sciences can access their milestone information via Learn.UQ (Blackboard).

To access the SAFS Higher Degree Research site, log in to Learn.UQ and select the page, available under My Organisations.

We're a researcher-focused, non-profit associated body of the UQU, and are open to all students and postdocs.

We aim to support HDR students through the various stages of their candidature.

We aim to:

• promote agricultural and food science among UQ students
• gather to socialise and learn from each other
• strengthen the research and social support system for St Lucia research students
• unite all SAFS HDR students across St Lucia and Gatton campuses by sharing common activities with the UQ Agriculture Postgraduate Association.

Lodge your expression of interest for casual tutor and demonstrator positions within our School.

Enrich your UQ experience by applying for one of our scholarships and prizes.

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition developed by UQ.

The exercise develops academic, presentation, and research communication skills and supports the development of research students' capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.

Congratulations

Congratulations to the 18 SAFS students who entered the 3MT in 2020.
