The literature review forms a substantial part of your postgraduate thesis and is also an ongoing process. Through clear examples, individual exercises, and group discussion, this workshop gets you started with your review or helps you reflect on your draft review. We will go through the whole process as well as what makes a good review.

Please note that this workshop will not go into details as to how to search for literature. For this, please sign up to the Library Research Support sessions or 1-1’s.
