Higher Degree by Research Candidature Management

⁠⁠⁠CDU issues this Request for Information (RFI), to conduct market research into contemporary capabilities in Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Candidature Management.

At the heart of the University's strategic plan is the aim to provide "transformative skills and learning" "through an accessible and high-quality learning experience for all our students and to create an organisational culture that places the quality of the learning experience at the forefront of everything else".

To support this aim and to ensure academic quality assurance in postgraduate research, robust processes and associated technology are required to provide HDR Candidates, Supervisors and support staff with an effective and efficient approach to monitoring, supporting and facilitating administration of HDR Candidatures.

With ongoing improvements in technology, CDU is looking to upgrade its current approach to candidature management across Higher Degree by Research offerings. The opportunity exists for vendors to provide a response to the University's expectations and to show how their product can contribute to CDU's realisation of benefits.
