Women's Health (Research Division)

Students work alongside staff researchers, are supervised by two members of academic staff and overseen by a divisional research co-ordinator. Students' progress is monitored closely and reported on every six months. To complement facilities available within research divisions, the Faculty has developed excellent research support facilities on both campuses for photography, molecular biology and electron microscopy, mechanical and electronics workshops.

All students are regularly notified about skills development opportunities through a monthly Postgraduate Research newsletter and are expected to undertake 10 days of training a year. Participation in the Health School's Graduate Showcase Day is compulsory for all students and provides an opportunity to improve science communication and presentation skills. The division funds a monthly postgraduate forum (run by graduate students) and encourages learning through regular seminars, journal clubs and laboratory meetings. Presentation of students' research work at national and international research conferences is actively encouraged.
