Complementary to departmental program training, Center for Enhanced Learning & Teaching (CELT) will provide a platform for Research Postgraduates (RPGs) to learn and develop some effective study skills together with their peers across disciplines.

RPGs who are interested in joining the Learning Support Group can attend the monthly breakfast gathering.  Please register here.  For enquiry, please contact Miss Phoebe Mok (ctmyc@ust.hk 2358-6297)
