Transferable skills training
Training in research skills is a key element in the development of all postgraduate students. It is becoming widely recognised that future employers, in a range of sectors, expect staff to possess a wide variety of generic and transferable skills. To help you develop these skills the Graduate School provides a training programme as detailed in the Research Training Programme & Personal Development Planning for Graduate and Postdoctoral Researchers brochure (Research Training Programme Brochure 2012-13). You can also participate in other training opportunities outlined in the brochure. Your personal development planning should include regular meetings with your supervisor to discuss your training needs and how you can aquire a broad range of skills during your postgraduate studies.
