Development and future readiness
Postgraduate development programme
With funding from the Department of Education, the Postgraduate Development Programme exists to support research students in the development of research skills and to enhance their employability through career and personal development.
How to Record Additional Training and Development
All Graduate School training events are bookable through the University’s MyFuture platform. Any training you have booked through MyFuture and have attended will be automatically added to your training record early 2018, in the first instance, and on a regular basis thereafter. Should you require this to be completed earlier, for example if you are preparing for differentiation or APR please contact us at pg.skills@qub.ac.uk to discuss your requirements.
Research students can also record other instances of training and development on their training plan.
Details on how to do this and more information on recording your training can be found HERE.
Postgraduate Development Programme
The postgraduate development programme is based on the requirements of both the Postgraduate Researcher Development Statement and Researcher Development Framework.
These have been created by Vitae, an organisation that exists to support the professional and personal development of doctoral researchers and research staff in higher education institutions and research institutes. They have been endorsed by the QAA and Research Councils UK.
The programme offers students a comprehensive range of training courses, 1-2-1 support and skills development opportunities and is coordinated by the Training and Development and Employment and Enterprise Teams based in The Graduate School.
