Graduate Training Programme
Subject Librarian delivering a training session
Each year, in collaboration with the DCU Graduate Studies Office, we host a programme of training aimed at first year Postgraduate Research students. These sessions are delivered by our team of Subject Librarians and by our Open Research Librarian.
This programme will help introduce anyone undertaking research to a number of different tips and guidance to help you effectively approach your research, as well as highlighting key resources for you to use on your journey.

Our graduate training programme typically runs in Semester 1, around later October/Early November.
All sessions are delivered online. Registration will be through Loop, and you can choose whichever sessions you would like to attend, or register for the full programme.
