Portfolio Review • Chapter 2: • In the Faculty of Science, research skills support ranges from informal, through project-related supervision and training, to compulsory Higher Degree Research Training units in some, but not all, Departments and Disciplines • Space issues are an ongoing concern

  6. Portfolio Review • Chapter 3 • The objectives and implications of internationalisation plans in research need to be carefully thought through • International Student Support: • Oral communication and writing skills workshops are compulsory for all HDR students (domestic and international) in the GSE (Department of Environment & Geography) • All FoS departments require HDR candidates to present a seminar each year, which provides training and experience in oral communication. In addition, candidates are encouraged to present papers and posters at local, national and international conferences, and can access HDR project support funds, as well as the MQ PGRF, for this purpose. • HDR project support funds can be used to pay for thesis editing services, where the candidate’s first language is not English. • HDR candidates are encouraged to engage in co-publication of their research with their supervisors, thereby acquiring skills and experience in academic writing.
