Research Skills Toolkit for PGRs
Postgraduate researchers have access to a suite of online modules as part of the Research Skills Toolkit developed by Epigeum.
I am please to announce we have now added an updated version of the Literature Review Programme, now named Undertaking a Literature Review and the BRAND NEW Principles of Research Methods, starring Dr Sally Reynolds and Professor Edwin van Teijlingen both of whom also deliver workshops as part of the Doctoral College Researcher Development Programme.
