Thesis Fest 2024

Thesis Fest provides Higher Degree by Research students with skills to engage with research and support wellbeing to complete their thesis. Save the date and secure your place today!

Are you struggling with motivation or feeling disengaged from your thesis? Is your wellbeing impacting your progress? Would you like an opportunity to network with other HDR students? Then Thesis Fest is for you!

Running from 25-27 June, Thesis Fest is designed to help you re-engage with your research and work towards final submission with confidence and success.

By attending, you will gain strategies and ideas to support you with both the progress of your research and your wellbeing. It will also be an opportunity to connect with other students sharing the same journey, as well as with people and support services at Curtin to help with your progression.

In 2023, Thesis Fest received a Vice Chancellor's Award for Excellence for Professional Staff. Come and see for yourself why!

Presentations will include the ever-popular ‘Ask a Professor Anything’ panel, where Professors from Curtin University share their research journey with us and invite questions from the audience.

Also, back by demand will be our panel of recently completed HDR students as they discuss motivation, staying on track, and staying well during your research.
