Abstract
In discussing aspects of postgraduate student progress, currently under scrutiny as a potential performance indicator, this paper draws upon the most recent research in the Australian context. Thereby it sheds new light on differences by discipline and gender, further illuminates the circumstantial, individual and institutional factors which may lead to long enrolments and attrition, and examines some of the measures that could be taken to address the issue.Keywords
