All PhD students will be enrolled in theÊPostgraduate Certificate in Researcher Professional Development programme (PgCert RPD).

This certificate is designed to support you with your research andÊrewards you for things you'll do as a research student here. It'll help you improve skills which are important to professional development and employability:

• the knowledge and intellectual abilities to conduct your research
• the personal qualities to succeed in your research and chosen career
• the standards, requirements and conduct of a professional researcher in your discipline
• working with others and communicating the impact of your research to a wide range of audiences

All you have to do is plan these activities alongside your PhD, documenting and reflecting your journey to success along the way.
