Doctoral students

Throughout their degree, doctoral students can take advantage of a range of CfAE courses and resources designed to help them communicate their STEMM research effectively.

Courses for doctoral students

Student writing

Research communication: academic writing

We offer early-stage courses for doctoral students which provide the foundations for accurate and appropriate written communication of STEMM research. We also offer courses at a higher level/later stage that hone your academic language and writing skills for publication and for the thesis.

Students chatting

Research communication: technical speaking

We offer technical speaking courses to support doctoral students both in the early stages of their research and in preparation for the thesis viva. In addition, we offer a 2nd-year course which eases students into confident and competent STEMM communication to a live audience.

Other support

Communicating Science Successfully boxset

To help you revise and extend your STEMM communication skills

General speaking and listening provision

To develop the communication skills needed to successfully participate in academic and professional contexts

1:1 consultations and drop-ins

To work together on a text or conference presentation or to discuss how to improve your communication on your doctoral course

The Business School requests that their students and staff contact the Global Skills Development team in the Business School about their equivalent to the Centre for Academic English provision.

Doctoral Academic Communication Requirement

Please note that all doctoral students must fulfil the Imperial College London Doctoral Academic Communication Requirement.

Support for dyslexia/SpLDs

If you don’t know that you have dyslexia or a specific learning difficulty, it can make studying efficiently much harder.

Along with reading and writing frustrations, do you have inefficiencies with organisation and planning, memory, time awareness, directions, concentration and/or information processing? If so, please contact the Disability Advisory Service.
