As members of the York Graduate Research School community you are warmly invited to take advantage of the academic skills training and community groups organised by the Academic Skills Community Team. These complement the peer to peer led Thrive and Survive and transferable skills sessions offered by the RET Team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Academic Skills<\/span> Community Groups<\/span><\/strong><\/a> are cross disciplinary and give you the opportunity to share and discuss issues around academic writing, critical thinking and structure with fellow PGRs. You will be able to discuss and set goals in relation to your academic skills.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One hour community groups are held twice per week for PGRs and are led by Dorjee Kazi, an experienced community group leader. The sessions take place on Monday mornings at 10.30 and Tuesday afternoons at 15.30 from 15\/2\/2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our<\/span> Academic Skills Workshops<\/span><\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>are designed to enhance your skills in critical thinking, writing and communicating. They are delivered by the Academic Skills Team and are open to ALL students and PGRs.\u00a0 We are opening out access to a limited number of courses in the first instance and will review, with your help, how useful they are to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
