During your studies you will produce a range of reports which will demonstrate that you are being effective in your research.

As well as at your milestones, you will have opportunities to present your research outcomes at internal and external meetings including reports for grant funding bodies, publications of your research and a range of other outputs.

Throughout your PhD, you should continue to develop your academic writing skills and there are range of opportunities available in College to support you with this:

Centre for Academic English

  • As a doctoral student, you might be transitioning from your Master’s into research communication, or you may have been in industry or out of academia for many years. Even if you have been actively communicating your research, you may need to develop higher-order communicative competence to meet Imperial doctoral expectations and fulfil your ambitions as a researcher.  To support this, the university has set up the Doctoral Academic Communication Requirement (DACR) so that all new doctoral students receive communication training and feedback as early as possible in their doctoral programme.

  • In addition to the DACR initial training, CfAE provides a range of follow-on academic writing resourceswhich accommodate different learning styles - from personalised self-study resources to live group activities to 1:1 coaching sessions.
