Editing Academic Writing

This practical workshop will explore the different components of editing academic writing. It will also explore some of the challenges commonly faced and identify the different types of editing. It will be particularly useful to those who have begun to draft and write their thesis and those in later stages of the doctoral process (pre-submission). 

Creating a Strong Argument for Your Thesis

This practical workshop will discuss the background to the nature of arguments. It will also consider the thesis as an 'argument' and its structure. It will be particularly useful to those who are working on their thesis and have completed (or are very close to completing) their data collection and analysis.

We organised two back-to-back workshops for early career research staff on 23 and 24 January 2019. Research @UNM workshop addressed the ongoing development of research at the University while Supervisory Research Seminar Series workshop discussed the challenges faced by PhD supervisors. 

Dr Tissa Chandesa, Research Training Development Manager, was invited to do a workshop titled 'Getting started! A quick guide to maximising your postgraduate journey' for postgraduate taught students from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences on 23 February 2019. This workshop covered several important elements that are essential to a postgraduate's journey.   

Our first mini induction for postgraduates was held on 22 February 2019. This induction was for postgraduates who were not able to attend our main postgraduate welcome programme last October or have joined the University thereafter.      

Our first Coffee and Cake session this year was held on 22 February 2019. We had a great turnout comprising of new and senior postgraduates. This casual session was indeed an ideal meeting platform for all postgraduates whilst enjoying some free refreshments.
