It provides an introduction to academic conventions related to research and writing essays, reports and case studies and presenting academic work orally.

Students will also develop their English language skills required to communicate clearly and coherently in an academic and professional context. Research Skills for Postgraduate Studies The unit aims to provide students with the skills needed for conducting research at a postgraduate level. This includes an introduction to a range of quantitative and qualitative research methods and information sources available and the development of critical thinking, processing and analysis skills to support future research projects. Postgraduate Preparation in Critical Thinking The unit aims to develop critical analytical skills, which are essential for problem-solving and are valued as graduate attributes. This unit introduces students to different methods of critical thinking through the history of Western thought and philosophy that underline many traditions of modern Western scholarship. Postgraduate students will be prepared for future research by developing skills in reasoning and argument.
