One-day Workshop - (MHR) 2025/26

The Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Colombo successfully hosted a One-Day Workshop for the students of Master of Human Rights (MHR) 2025/26 programme on the 13th of June 2026 at The Kingsbury Hotel, Colombo.

This workshop was particularly designed to help our students with the essential skills needed to conduct their Independent Research Study (IRS) successfully.

Key highlights of the workshop included:

• Refinning research title, one to one guidance on developing a viable research proposal and overcoming common practical challenges in completing IRS.
• Ethical AI Usage: Insightful discussions on university AI policy and how to avoid academic dishonesty. It further highlighted the importantance of ethical use of AI tools without compromising academic and research integrity.

To ensure hands-on, personalized mentorship, students were divided into 8 interactive breakout groups. Dedicated lecturers were assigned to each group to help students by reviewing their research titles and resolve any academic challenges they faced.

It was a highly productive day filled with productive academic discussions and collaborative learning. We wish our MHR 2025/26 cohort the absolute best as they confidently embark on their research journeys!
