Postgraduates: are you ready to learn some new skills?

Postgraduate study is a step up from undergraduate study and requires more in depth skills. The Universities of York and Hull provide a suite of workshops and courses designed to help taught and research postgraduates develop skills that will help them meet the challenges of research at this level.

University of York:
Bookable training courses at http://www.york.ac.uk/admin/hr/researcher-development/students/
We particularly recommend Searching the Literature which is RDT201421 on skillsforge for research students, and RD0173 on the LMS for research staff.

University of Hull:
Bookable skills workshops at http://libguides.hull.ac.uk/skillsworkshops/postgraduateworkshops
Enhanced Information and Research Skills Module at http://www2.hull.ac.uk/lli/skills-team/supportingresearch/workshopseirs.aspx
A Research Data Management module will also be running from early November.
