2026-2027 Workshops
Workshops are open to all staff and students in the School of Social and Political Science only.
Our workshops are delivered both online and on campus, please check to confirm the location of the workshop.
All SDO workshops are mapped onto the Skills for Success (UG, PGT) and Researcher Development (PGR, PhD) frameworks.
The suggested year of study is a guide only - sessions are open to all students in SPS in any year of study. Please be aware that the session content may be tailored to a particular audience.
We add workshops all year so check back regularly for updates.
