Professional and personal development is a fundamental part of the postgraduate researcher at Strathclyde. From learning about protocols in managing research data in the open access world, to becoming a leader of a project or group, we support our students to find opportunities to learn and develop the skills to achieve their ambitions.
Research training, as part of the PhD award, provides core research skills. Researcher development creates opportunities for researchers to develop skills which can help them to meet their future career aspirations.
