Up until 2017, we had been organising an annual event called the Research Showcase; a poster and presentation competition for postgraduate research students to communicate their research projects to a non-research lay audience. However, for 2018 we decided to be inclusive of the entire postgraduate community. Therefore, the event was re-branded to Postgraduate Showcase and participation was welcomed from both taught and research postgraduate students.

The poster round competition was held on 3 May 2018. It enabled us to showcase the breadth and originality of the research undertaken by our postgraduate students.       

We are offering the following Researcher Development Programme (RDP) course this month. This course will be delivered by Professor Dominic Foo.

Title: Anatomy of a Good Journal Paper 

Date: 18 July 2018

Time: 2pm - 4pm 

Venue: H1B13

We are also offering the following writing workshops for all academic staff, especially early career researchers, and postgraduate students. These workshops will be delivered by Professor Graham Kendall and Dr Tissa Chandesa.   

We are also offering the following specialist training to help participants with their presentation skills.    

Participation is currently being welcomed for this year's 3MT^® competition.  

3MT^® competition challenges research students to communicate the significance of their projects to a non-specialist audience in just three minutes. The competition is open to active doctoral students who have successfully passed their first year confirmation review milestone (including thesis under submission). You can stand a chance to win prizes worth RM2,500.

If you are interested to participate in this competition, please sign up for the compulsory briefing scheduled for 6 August 2018 at 10am in H1B13.

We invite you to write a one page article on your life as a postgraduate student at UNMC. We would like to capture and showcase the experience of our postgraduate students through our blog and newsletter. There is no limit to what you can write about - it can be a sharing of experience or knowledge, postgraduate life, internal or external engagement, etc. This is a platform for you to practise and enhance your writing skills.  

Please email your article to us at graduateschool@nottingham.edu.my.
