As part of your MPhil or PhD, you'll be enrolled on a Postgraduate Certificate in Researcher Professional Development (PgCert RDP) course for which you'll have to complete a range of personal, professional and career development activities.
These activities aim to develop the transferrable skills you'll use throughout your career and also within a particular researcher development framework.
