Abstract
This study utilized the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to solicit consensus from seven thesis writing postgraduate students at a university in the Pacific Islands on ways they feel could enhance their experiences at the Faculty they belong. This study found that besides writing and pursuing their thesis, candidates suggest being part of collaborative research projects with academics. Another finding relates to having peer groups formed to provide an avenue for support and mentoring among thesis writing candidates. These have implications for promoting thesis candidates into staff student and student-student collaborative efforts and ultimately being socialized into a vibrant research culture, within the university, region and beyond.
