a. Brief Description

For over a decade, the Graduate School has organised related short courses to help postgraduate students do their research. These modules are collectively referred to as the Improving Postgraduate Learning (IPL) programme. These courses have been well received by past postgraduates and the overall number of IPL modules has increased from 16 (in 1995/ 1996) to 52 (in 2022-2023) with corresponding increases in the number of participants.

Most IPL short courses are optional for postgraduate students. However, all research postgraduate students should consider seriously taking every module that has potential relevancy to their research endeavours. Supervisors and division heads should also promote these modules to their respective students.
