The Graduate School is a centrally coordinated network of staff working in the service of the University as a whole on research degree matters. That means that most staff are not solely engaged in Graduate School work but have other responsibilities in faculties and departments. There are, however, also a smaller number of staff with specific dedicated research degree roles that is responsible for the central coordination of the wider Graduate School work.
Edge Hill University has launched a new international multi-institutional alliance that will enhance and enrich ‘people, cultures and environments’ for undertaking and delivering world-leading research and impact.

Academic writing for research
Tuition is available for students to develop and enhance their academic writing for the purposes of research. This includes tutorials on developing skills in planning, structuring, the signposting of arguments and matters of clarity. Small group academic writing workshops are run to develop criticality and structure in academic writing for research students.
For those students who are close to completion and are interested in publishing their work, advice is available on writing for publication. If a student is returning to study, after a long break, refreshers in academic writing for the purposes of research are on offer.
These sessions and one-to-ones are run by Dr Craig Collinson. For more information please email: [email protected].
