Doctoral students

Courses for doctoral students

Student writing

Research communication: academic writing

We offer a range of 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.

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.
