In this course you will learn both how to clean longitudinal data as well as the main statistical models used to analyse it. The course will cover three fundamental frameworks for analysing longitudinal data: multilevel modelling, structural equation modelling and event history analysis. The course is organised as a mixture of lectures and hands-on practicals […]
This course will familiarise students with the basic concepts of Bayesian theory. It is designed to provide an introduction to the principles, methods, and applications of Bayesian statistics. Bayesian statistics offers a powerful framework for data analysis and inference, allowing for the incorporation of prior knowledge and uncertainty in a coherent and systematic manner. The […]
Advances in computer technology made it possible to create and use large language databases often referred to as corpora in language studies. A recent development in the field is to apply corpus-based approaches to a wide range of areas beyond linguistic analysis (Pérez-Paredes, 2021; Seale & Charteris-Black, 2010). This interactive webinar will showcase how both […]
This webinar, part of our Conducting Literature Reviews webinar series, explores the process of conducting a systematic scoping review. Using a worked example on education in the post-independence Indian diaspora, the session will outline the five-stage framework of Arksey and O’Malley (2005), covering search strategies, inclusion criteria, and thematic analysis. It will also discuss challenges […]

An interview is a precious opportunity to make a positive, memorable impression and advance a researcher’s career. Thorough preparation is vital, and that means working on style as well as content. The way candidates conduct themselves, present ideas and respond to questions has a powerful influence on the way they are perceived. Even an academic […]
This workshop will help you understand the principles of different kinds of impact (academic, societal and economic), how to identify the intended impacts of research and potential beneficiaries, how to plan activities that will help achieve those intended impacts and how to measure progress towards these impacts. We will work through a ‘glucard TM building […]
The viva is almost the end of the PhD. A lot of work leads to this point, but often anxiety can mix with the sense of achievement at completing the thesis. For many candidates the time before the viva is filled with uncertainty about the day, uncertainty about how to prepare well – and stress […]
This course will offer an in-depth exploration of decolonising academia by asking: What are the possibilities when it comes to decolonial research? This one-day course will be split into four sections: Examining the decolonial critique of academia. This will involve exploring some of the main themes found within decolonial scholarship and activism with a specific […]
The literature review is a key part of your doctoral thesis. It takes time to develop and builds an original argument. So, why not make it available to others by turning it into a peer-reviewed publication? In this session of our Conducting Literature Reviews webinar series, two early career researchers (ECRs) will talk about how […]
