Developing your research skills
You need to develop your research skills to succeed in a research degree and in your career; no matter what your goals are. Research skills are not just a by-product of doing research - they're skills you can actively and purposefully develop.
As a postgraduate research student at AG飞禽走兽电子, you can take charge of your development as a researcher by making the most of AG飞禽走兽电子’s research workshops, seminars, groups and resources to develop these research skills.
