Find out more about our advice and resources for current postgraduate students.
Getting published
The Society has produced key guides, including Publishing and getting read and Communicating research beyond the academy, and Working with voluntary and community groups, which contain valuable advice, hints and tips. The guides, written by leading editors and scholars, contain case studies on publishing in journals and books, conducting social research, writing policy reports, writing for the media, and communicating with wider audiences including young people, schools and business.
Support for teaching and learning
Many postgraduate students teach alongside their studies, and it is an important part of postgraduate career development. We have a growing bank of resources for use in teaching and learning in HE, which you can use to support your teaching. This sits alongside our resource bank for those teaching at school level.
We also offer training workshops for those new to teaching in geography and related disciplines.
