Session 1

How universities can improve [coursework] postgraduate students’ transition to study

An important aspect of supporting postgraduate student success is supporting their ability to transition into university study at a postgraduate level and support their employability goals. The focus of this workshop is to expand the knowledge, skills and resources academics can use to address student transition particularly in the context of post-graduate students. The content and resources are developed from two Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching strategic priority projects on graduate employability and postgraduate student experience. The workshop will summarise the projects’ key findings relevant to postgraduate student experience of transition. The key points of transition into study and exiting study into employability will be included. Participants will engage in interactive activities to explore how postgraduate students perceive their student experience and strategies we can build into the everyday curriculum to support them.

The workshop will be of interest to Associate Deans Teaching and Learning, Postgraduate Course and Unit Coordinators, and professional staff who support academic staff and Postgraduate Coursework students. Working together, the participants will:

(i) identify which of the student experiences are true in the ECU contexts – and add others identified through discussion

(ii) share strategies that they currently use to support postgraduate students including those targeted to enhance students’ transitions

(iii) consider additional strategies to bolster student experience through transitions and for employability within the ECU context

Date & Time: Tuesday 6 November, 09.30am to 12.00pm
Location: ECU JO34.545

Session 2

How universities can improve higher degree by research students’ experience, transition to study and employability

Undertaking a postgraduate research degree can be a daunting prospect and seem like a long and lonely road. Based on insights from an Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching strategic priority project on postgraduate student experience this workshop will engage participants in activities to strengthen understanding of research students’ experience including those affecting their transitions – at the commencement of their journey as students and as they look to their next phase of post-study employability.

Participants will engage in interactive activities to explore how research students perceive their student experience and strategies we can build into their experience to support them.

The workshop will be of interest to Associate Deans Research, HDR Supervisors, Graduate Research School staff, and professional staff who support postgraduate research students. Working together, the participants will:

(i) identify which of the research student experiences are true in the ECU contexts – and add others identified through discussion

(ii) share strategies that they currently use to support postgraduate research students including those targeted to enhance students’ transitions

(iii) consider additional strategies to bolster student research experience through transitions and for employability within the ECU context

Date & Time: Tuesday 6 November, 12.30pm to 3.00pm
