Join Writing Pathways for the next iteration of the Navigating Research Writing (NRW) course, which runs from the 30th October to the 9th of November 2023.

Normally a week-long face-to-face course, this will now be online via Zoom over a period of 2 weeks from 9am to 2pm Monday to Thursday. Navigating Research Writing is open to all postgraduate or prospective postgraduate students and researchers.

We aim to help you:

  • Understand and articulate your research in an exploratory written product of your choice (e.g. concept note, proposal or literature review),
  • Develop a research identity in dialogue with and exciting group of experienced researchers,
  • Learn how to make use of databases in the library
  • Make arguments and sustain a strong writer's voice, and
  • Complete on-line writing tasks to reflect on your research experiences.
  • You will also have the opportunity to join a Just Write session each day.


These tasks prompt you to rehearse or revisit ideas towards your final submission. Course facilitators will provide feedback on these products.

There is a small fee for the course, R600 for UCT students and R1200 for external participants.

A small number of sponsorships are available.
