Courses for students on Postgraduate Research programmes.
ALLIS Courses for PG Research
We offer a range of academic writing courses for students at different stages of their research journey. These courses consist of a series of small-group workshop-style classes rather than traditional lectures. They are task-based and interactive, emphasising active student participation.
We strongly advise you to only apply for one PGR writing course per semester, due to the workload involved.
