Writing your Master's dissertation? Want to know how to find literature or data, use Google proficiently, manage your references, structure and write your dissertation effectively, and more? Join us for a programme of free workshops that will help boost your research skills!

On Track offers PGT students with support in researching and writing a Master's dissertation. It is offered once a year in June, and sessions cover the dissertation process from starting your research all the way to converting it for publication with the Essex Student Journal! Workshops are delivered by staff from a range of areas, including the Skills at Library team, Skills for Success, Digital Innovation and Technology Services, and Organisational Development.
