The unit builds on the General and Generic Research Skills 1 unit to increase both the breadth and depth of coverage for taught postgraduate students to carry out and communicate research within Psychology. The purpose is to bring all students up to the standard required to support teaching, learning and science writing at postgraduate level.
The lectures aim to cover an increased range of research skills, some of which are subject-specific, and will help you to produce high quality psychological research. The Unit develops more advanced IT skills, including thesis and publication preparation, presentation skills, publication skills, and an introduction to the process of peer-review publication and grant application procedures.
Lectures
This Unit is assessed purely on Coursework: Literature Review (70%) and Seminar Diary (30%).
