Candidate 'drop-in' times

The Graduate Research School provides an opportunity for candidates to drop in and ask specific questions one on one with a member of the Candidature Team. No appointment is necessary.

To ensure privacy relating to your questions, Zoom has been set up as 'waiting room' and you will be admitted by a team member at the appropriate time.

  • Mondays: 11am-12pm

Refer to the weekly Researcher Professional Development bulletin for the Zoom link for each drop-in session.

Alternatively, you can drop into the Office (C320 Footscray Park campus) for a face-to-face meeting with a candidature team member between Tuesday to Thursday:

  • 10am-12pm
  • 2-4pm

Should you wish to meet with a candidature team member outside of the drop in sessions, email gradresearch@vu.edu.au and provide your student id, name and topic for discussion.
