The School of Graduate Research and Research Culture (SGRRC) sits within the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) portfolio and plays a central role in supporting UOW’s research excellence. As the University’s hub for Higher Degree Research (HDR) candidature management, research integrity, ethics and compliance, the School provides end‑to‑end support across the entire HDR lifecycle—from initial inquiry through to graduation and career transition.
