Research training workshops
Our interactive workshops provide you with strategies for a successful research journey, appropriate research design and methodology, timely completion, and effective writing and communication.
Workshops are run across all campuses with the aim of developing the skills and capabilities required to deliver quality research with impact. The program includes regular and annual workshops, as well as special events with guest presenters.
Online alternative
For students who cannot attend on-campus events we provide many of the workshop materials online, including audio recordings and handouts. You can even tune in to some workshops via the internet.
Peer-to-peer workshops
Our SOAR Ambassadors also provide peer-to-peer workshops where they share their own knowledge and experiences of a particular topic in a small group setting. For more information on these sessions, visit the SOAR sessions web page.
