Self-enrolment for all HDR candidates

All HDR candidates (commencing and continuing) are now required to self-enrol in coursework and research thesis units in MyUC.

International candidates

International candidates who are considering a change to part-time load or withdrawal from units must consult the international student advisors before enrolling, in order to ensure that visa requirements are met.

Step 1: Prepare for enrolment

Do I need a HDR study plan?

It is recommended that Higher Degree by Research (HDR) candidates follow the typical study plan for your course when choosing the units to study and the semesters to study them in. However, there may be some cases where you need to deviate from the typical study pattern and instead request a HDR study plan (MyUC). This may be where:

There is no typical study pattern available for your commencement e.g. Semester 2, Part-time.
The course has been closed and there is no typical study pattern available for the semester.
Your research is cross-disciplinary and selected coursework units from other faculties may be more appropriate.
You want to choose other postgraduate coursework units as per course requirements.
