Staying well during your HDR degree

Pursuing an Higher Degree by Research (HDR) degree is an exciting yet demanding journey, filled with both rewarding breakthroughs and challenging obstacles. The highs of contributing to knowledge can be offset by feelings of isolation, stress, setbacks, and uncertainty. It's inevitable that you’ll face moments of difficulty during your research journey, but with the right strategies, you can stay well throughout the process.

The Staying Well During Your HDR Degree online workshop offers evidence-based techniques to help you manage your wellbeing. This session will cover vital topics such as balancing your workload, building resilience, establishing good habits, overcoming procrastination, and handling setbacks or disagreements you’re your supervisors. You'll also gain strategies to manage isolation and loss of motivation, as well as guidance on supporting others who may be struggling.

This workshop is ideal for HDR students at any stage of their candidature.
