This training is a partnership between TU-K, Birmingham City University and @Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Project for capacity building in Higher Education Institutions. The 5-day training, facilitated by Dr. Peter Samuels and Prof. Maharaj Vijay Reddy, both from Birmingham City University, sought to upskill PhD students on proposal Writing and Research Methods. In addition to the training, the participants research proposals were reviewed and they received individual feedback on their work. Previous cohort trainees were also awarded certificates, having successfully completed their training assignments. This is the second and last year for the training, and the university hopes to develop its own research and writing skill curriculum
