Developing Your Academic Writing Skills

Would you like to extend and improve your skills in academic writing and research?

Whether you are on a course now or are planning to undertake one which requires you to engage with academic writing and research, then this course is for you.

You will increase your knowledge and practice of key aspects of academic writing and research skills and further develop your study skills.

You will focus on developing competencies in research skills and assignment writing, following correct referencing conventions.

Please be prepared to provide your residency documents such as a passport, EU citizen ID card, UK Birth Certificate or Biometric Card. If you have been in the UK for less than 3 years or have entered the UK with a visa you will need to provide evidence that you are eligible to study in the UK - your visa, your biometric card that covers the duration of your course or any relevant home office documents to support your residency should all be provided. If you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen we will need to see evidence of 'Pre-Settled' or 'Settled-status' documents. Also for funding purposes we would need to see evidence of payslips if working (within the last 3 months). If you are receiving benefits (e.g JSA, ESA, Universal Credit (UC), Housing benefits etc. please provide evidence of this).

This course will substantially contribute to the success of learners who have to present work which requires meeting academic conventions for referencing and research.

Once you have completed the course, you will have the opportunity to discuss with the course tutor the most appropriate progression routes onto further teacher training courses.
