Important Pre-Semester Information

Completing a post-graduate degree can be a daunting experience. There is much to learn about writing essays and reports, and becoming familiar with research methods and even finding books and journal articles. The University of Sydney provides a wide range of services to help you develop those skills. We suggest that you start using such services as soon as possible.

Refresher Courses in Academic Writing

If it has been some time since you were at university, you should take a refresher course in academic essay writing. University essays and reports are very different from business reports and descriptive or creative writing. Visit the University Learning Centre at http://www.usyd.edu.au/stuserv/learning_centre/index.shtml or http://writesite.elearn.usyd.edu.au

 

Library and IT Training

There are many free training courses offered by the library. You will need to get training in database use, research for essay and report writing. We suggest you also take a course in EndNote which is a reference manager program that will save you a considerable amount of time. You should also take a guided library tour to help you find your way around the library.
