Skills and Resources for Postgraduates
The Library Teams are here for postgraduate students throughout the summer months as you focus on your individual research projects.
The Postgraduate Collection
Over on the Academic Skills Kit you will find a new curated collection that brings together a series of resources focusing on research and writing skills for postgraduate students. From assessing your existing skills to dealing with procrastination, it is designed to help you get the most out of your taught or research postgraduate course.
The collection will help you discover guidance and resources covering topics including:
- how to find the information you need for your research and how to make the most of Library collections
- mapping existing scholarship and keeping up-to-date with the research in your field
- effective strategies for managing, maximising and streamlining your reading and note-taking
- overcoming procrastination and maintaining your motivation throughout the process of writing your thesis or dissertation
