Participating in our teaching program, you will learn how to conduct and execute a systematic review under the supervision of some of the most brilliant academics in the UK. Following the teaching, you will get the chance to be allocated to a systematic review project under an academic supervisor, and get your name on a great piece of research. This is on a first-come, first-served basis.

All six teaching sessions will be held ONLINE via Zoom.

Those who are not allocated a project are invited to join our Virtual Systematic Review Hackathon Day, this will give you the opportunity to apply the knowledge presented across the six sessions with a group of students with similar research interests. The aim of the day is to leave with a fully formulated research question and comprehensive steps on how to action your very own systematic review project!
