Strong research skills are the foundation of a successful dissertation. In these hands-on workshops, you’ll learn how to search strategically and efficiently, using advanced techniques to find high-quality, relevant sources in different databases.
We’ll also introduce you to the reference management tool, Zotero, designed to help you organise your sources and generate citations with ease. Plus, explore how emerging AI research tools can support and streamline your research process.
Take the guesswork out of research and start approaching your dissertation with confidence!
