The University Graduate School supports postgraduates at the University of Birmingham. We offer a variety of academic, social and wellbeing activities throughout the year.
This includes PGT Essentials, a series of workshops designed to help PGT students develop essential skills and think about their next steps - look out for other sessions in the PGT Essentials Collection!
If your PGT dissertation is based on secondary research and you need a bit of support and advice for writing and structuring it, then this is the workshop for you. Our ASC expert will look at different approaches you can take to improve your writing, structure your work, and write more critically.
Join the University Graduate School and the Academic Skills Centre for this online workshop, followed by a Q&A where you can ask any questions related to dissertations and writing.
The workshop covers:
- How to approach writing your dissertation,
- How to review and critique literature,
- How to ensure coherence and flow across chapters,
- Advice for writing more critically,
- Where to find resources for further help,
- and a Q&A where you can ask our academic expert for help and advice.
Please note, the session will NOT cover:
- Support for academic English,
- Proofreading or editing for a piece of work,
- Advice for creative writing.
