Courses / Module

3 full days and 3 half days in Year 2 Semester 2 (approx 24 hours seminars and workshops)

The purpose of the Research Seminars is two-fold, firstly it is for students to engage with leading scholars invited to present and lead a discussion on their research. Providing an opportunity for students to work with leading scholars whilst sharing their own research will assist them with their own individual growth and development.

Secondly, it is a space for students to share aspects of their research as it develops with their supervisors and other interested academics and students. As such, it serves to encourage students to synthesise the evidence they have gathered thus far, thereby helping them to organise their materials into manageable form as their research proceeds.

Students will receive feedback from others interested in their area of study, assisting them in considering aspects they might not otherwise have addressed. Sharing material with others in the Department also spreads the research: if staff and other students are aware of what graduates are researching, they can refer relevant material to them as they come across it.
