Graduate Research Welcome: Master of Research 2026

Commencing Master of Research students and Supervisors are warmly invited to this Graduate Research Welcome morning-tea, hosted by the Graduate Research Academy (GRA). 

As part of this Welcome, you will:

• From 9:45am: Meet your fellow students and enjoy morning tea
• 10am: Be welcomed by the Graduate Research leadership team, and gain an overview of the dedicated Research resources and support available to you
• 10:30am: Network with your fellow researchers and key contacts for your Faculty
• 11am: Take a campus tour with specific research locations pointed out (optional, approx. 30 mins). 
• Even if you're not new to Macquarie, this Welcome is important: MRes introduces new rules, structures, and resources that you need to know! 

This Welcome is specifically for Master of Research students who commence at the start of the year.

If you are a PhD or MPhil student, please join us on 5 March for our 2026 intake Welcome.

If you are starting the Graduate Diploma or Certificate of Research, please join us at your specific Welcome on 19 February.

Use the rego form if there's an accommodation you need for this event. If you need a quieter space, written information, low-light, or other adjustment that will help you get the most out of this event.
