Critical Reading for Academic Purposes

Duration: 9 weeks

Open to all students | All disciplines welcome

Aims and objectives:

Designed for both home and international students, Critical Reading for Academic Purposes equips you with strategies to question, analyse, and engage with academic texts across any discipline.

Over 9 interactive sessions, you’ll:

· Understand what “critical” really means in an academic context

· Explore how authors build arguments—and how you can unpack them

· Spot stance, bias, and hidden assumptions

· Connect readings into academic conversations

· Practise using sources with confidence in your own writing

 

Through real examples and hands-on activities, you’ll develop sharper reading skills and a more academic voice—key assets for essays, research, and seminars.

Whether you want to read smarter, write stronger, or just feel less overwhelmed by dense texts, this course is for you. Join us and learn to read like a scholar.
