Individualised support

Macquarie University offers a range of one-on-one consultation services for graduate research students, including data and statistical advice.

Graduate research students can book a one-on-one appointment with their Graduate Research Development Advisor to discuss:

  • thesis writing
  • conference preparation
  • grant application
  • publishing
  • other learning skills issues

These consultations can take place in person on campus or over Skype/Zoom.

To book an appointment, email your Graduate Research Development Advisor, or email gr.development@mq.edu.au and your Advisor will get back to you. Please include your name, your department, and what you would like to discuss.

Statistical advice should be sought early in your candidature. Advice on data analysis and interpretation is available from Macquarie's Department of Statistics. This graduate research statistical consulting service is available on Tuesdays from 10am to 12pm.

Contact Associate Professor Peter Petocz to book an appointment or submit a question online.
