Presenters

Our presenters are experts in academic writing who follow a practical and interactive approach to learning.

Location

The venue and mode of delivery will be communicated before the workshop.

We will tackle various issues surrounding writing a literature review, such as the different types of literature reviews and ways of organising information in literature reviews. We will also discuss how to effectively integrate information in a literature review while touching on issues regarding plagiarism and referencing.

The twelve hours are divided into eight 1.5-hour sessions spread over four mornings from 09:00-13:00. The mode of delivery (online or face-to-face) will be communicated before the workshop.

If you are joining us online, you’ll need access to a computer or laptop and a stable internet connection. If you are joining us in person, you just need to bring yourself and something with which to write.

Anyone can attend, but the workshop is specifically aimed at postgraduate students and researchers busy writing a literature review. We are happy to accommodate all levels of language and writing proficiency.
