It was also noted that there are future plans for a scientific forum for postgraduate students at the university in the next academic year.
The topics of the workshop included: guidance and supervision, the duty of each faculty member and student, the idea of the research, the problem of the study and its limitations, previous studies, formulation of the research plan, the stages of validation of research and method of scientific documentation.
