Courses for doctoral students

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.
