IMEL’s Postgraduate Students Attend Inaugural LLM Dissertation Writing Workshop

In May, IMEL hosted its first LLM Dissertation Writing Workshop at Rooibok Retreat in Scarborough. The aim of the Workshop, was to remove postgraduate students to the quiet confines of the eco-village of Scarborough and to: aid them in developing their dissertation proposals and preliminary research in a supportive and constructive environment; enable them to present their proposals or preliminary research work and receive constructive feedback on it from their peers and lecturers; and create a structured setting for students to progress with the research towards their dissertation. Attended by 12 postgraduate students and their supervisors, the workshop was well received by all and a second iteration of it will be held in September 2013.
