At Adelaide University, we are committed to helping you become a skilled, confident and well-rounded researcher, ready for a career in academia or beyond.
The Graduate Research & Innovation Training (GRIT) program is a core part of your research degree. It supports your development from enrolment through to thesis submission and beyond, helping you build the skills and confidence to succeed in your research and future career.

Participation in GRIT is compulsory for all PhD and Master of Philosophy students. However, all graduate research students are welcome to take part in GRIT activities.
To graduate, you will need to meet the GRIT program requirements before submitting your thesis.
GRIT includes four fixed activities to ensure every graduate researcher receives the information they need to succeed and understands their rights and responsibilities at Adelaide University.
Beyond these, you will choose activities that suit your individual development needs. These are mapped to three Researcher Development Domains, giving you flexibility while ensuring your training supports both your goals and the University’s research ambitions.
The University offers a variety of training and development opportunities that align to the GRIT framework and will also recognise training and development activities you undertake independently throughout your research program.
