Current issues in graduate education at the ANU

Abstract

This paper discusses what I consider to be the major issues currently confronting the ANU in postgraduate education. The exercise was undertaken initially to help me sort out my own thinking. The paper is distributed in the hope that it might be similarly helpful to others and that it might help focus discussion within the University of future directions in graduate education. In general no attempt is made to provide detailed prescriptions by which the issues raised should be addressed.
