Training for research postgraduates

Taught IT courses

IT Services offers research postgraduates free hands-on courses and self-study learning resources in Microsoft Office, email, digital imaging, web publishing, University systems and more. You may view a list of currently scheduled courses and book a place through the OnCourse (see IT courses for staff, which research postgraduates may also attend).

Some research postgraduates may also be interested in High Performance Computing courses.

Self-study

If you prefer learning by yourself, at your own pace, you'll find the documents that are issued on our courses, and more, below. All these documents are suitable for self-study and many include practical exercises for which we supply files with which you can practice.

• Find a learning resource

There is also a lot of useful information and advice about computing elsewhere on the IT Services website, including IT information for students and IT information for staff.

Remember that computing is not a risk-free activity, so also be sure to take a little time to think about how to protect your computer, your data and yourself.

Other learning opportunities

If your interest extends beyond IT and information literacy skills, you'll find a wider range of learning opportunities on the University's Student Skills Directory
