2024/25 workshops

Workshops and training sessions tailored to PGRs in the arts and humanities.

The following sessions can be booked on the Central Booking System or you may just turn up on the day.

This programme of sixteen seminars provides postgraduates with both an introduction to a selected range of theories and research methods, as well as practice-based activities and applications of research methods to specific disciplines. Seminars offer researchers the opportunity to work with theories and methods critically and effectively and to integrate these practices into their doctoral research. For in person sessions, the number of participants per seminar is limited to 25.
