Thesis Bootcamp

Thesis Bootcamps are 3-day intensive writing retreats, held both online and in the Perth campus Library. They are designed for HDR students who want to set aside some dedicated time to work on large chunks of their thesis in a structured, supportive environment. The events includes goal setting, accountability and motivation generated from working alongside other participants. Join us for some focussed and productive work over three days!

The in-person Bootcamp runs from 8.30am to 5pm each day. The online Bootcamp runs from 6.50am-5pm (AWST) for additional flexibility.
