Contacts outside the School are provided in the ' Your University ' section of this site. Soon after arriving at UNSW you should be allocated a permanent desk as well as filing and bookshelf space. It is likely that you will be required to share an office with other researchers. You will also be provided with benchspace according to the needs of your project. This is likely to be in a shared laboratory - usually with other members of your research group.
Different groups share laboratory equipment in different ways.
If you need any item that is not available in your laboratory you should discuss this with your supervisor or other member of the research group. For access to telecommunications and the Internet see below. Before the end of your first year as a research student, you will be asked to submit a research proposal, literature review and a completed questionaire about how you are going in your project. You will then be interviewed by the School Graduate Studies Committee along with your supervisor. This is part of the progress review process which is described elsewhere.
