The Graduate Research School has developed video resources for SCD research students. The video content is for general informational and educational purposes only. It intends to help students get the most out of their study. It does not replace the Sydney College of Divinity academic rules and regulations, and policies and procedures. It is the sole responsibility of the student to be current on SCD policies and procedures, and meet all the requirements of the academic program.

Students can email [email protected] with their feedback, questions and suggestions.
