Postgraduate Student Support
The Centre for Postgraduate Studies, in collaboration with the Research Directorate, provides support services for postgraduate (master's and doctoral) students.
The postgraduate student support programme at CPGS offers tailored assistance to doctoral students, including requested activities such as editing, proofreading, advanced statistical analysis, and methodological guidance.
Available support
Editing and Proofreading
This involves helping students refine their written work for clarity, coherence, and academic style. It includes correcting grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors.
Critical Reading
Critical readers evaluate scholarly articles or dissertations, focusing on their quality, validity, and relevance. These individuals, typically researchers or academics, assess a study's methodology, findings, and conclusions. They also evaluate the clarity, coherence, and significance of the research question, appropriateness of the methodology, rigour of data analysis, presentation of results, and validity of conclusions.
Statistics
We assist with statistical analysis, including selecting the appropriate methods for data analysis, interpreting results, and using statistical software.
Research Methodology
Support designing research studies, selecting appropriate methodologies, developing research instruments, and addressing methodological issues.
Research Software
- IBM SPSS Statistics is a comprehensive software package for quantitative data analysis. It supports the entire analytical process, from project planning to data collection and analysis.
- Atlas.ti is a powerful qualitative data analysis, data management, and model-building tool.
- Turnitin: All written works, including assignments, articles, dissertations, and theses, must be checked for originality using Turnitin, an advanced plagiarism and AI-generated text detection tool. Postgraduate students should be registered on the Turnitin platform by their supervisors at the proposal stage.
