Resources to develop your research skills and career

Postgraduate research collaboration

When postgraduate students, non-academic organisations and partners work together, they learn about each other’s expertise, share knowledge and get an appreciation of different professional cultures.

The postgraduate collaboration section gives information and guidance on a range of collaboration opportunity ideas, and case study examples of students’ experiences.
