2008 is year of change for HDR candidature information availability. A web version of the HDR Guide for Candidates and Supervisors has just been developed which makes access to this important information much easier. In addition to this, a new HDR Policies & Procedures section on the website has also been added and this will be progressively updated with new documents throughout the year.
