Gradually launched from 2012 from the School of History, the project expanded to include nine more schools in the University of St Andrews. The project’s aim is ‘to create a framework for subject-specific academic skills to be delivered to a large number of UG students via high quality workshops delivered by PGR students, creating benefits for both cohorts.’ The structure is initially based on communication between CAPOD and the Director of Teaching from the relevant school facilitated by the School President to include and support the work of the Primary and the Secondary Workshop Leaders with the students. Some of the Project’s programmes include:
- Group work (Management)
- Critical Engagement and Research Skills (Modern Languages)
- Thinking critically – thinking Geographically (G&SD)
- Visual Analysis Trip (Art History)
- How to argue like a Philosopher (Philosophy)
- How do I watch film? (Film Studies)
- Analysis and use of different sources (Classics)
- Researching in IR (IR)
- Speaking Skills (Modern Languages)
