STAR (Skills to Advance Your Research)
STAR is a web-based resource which has been designed to support postgraduate research students. It aims to help students to develop skills needed for research and writing of a thesis and other associated scholarly work. It provides students access to both resources which can be use on a self-help basis to develop a particular skill or know how, and to places or people who can help them in gaining the know how. Some of these resources are available in print, some online, and some are face to face workshops. It should be remembered that the resources available are intended to complement the advice received from supervisors, not to replace their advice and guidance.
