The Higher Degree Research Office
The Higher Degree Research Office (HDRO) is the contact point for research degree enrolment at Macquarie University. HDRO manages research degree candidature and scholarships including applications, admissions, enrolment, progression, thesis submission and degree completion. HDRO works closely with the Faculties of the University, the Dean of Higher Degree Research and the Higher Degree Research Committee. Our aim is to provide excellent service and specialised knowledge of Macquarie's research training activities to all commencing and continuing candidates, as well as to staff.
