The Skills Audit for research students
All new research students are encouraged to consider their existing portfolio of skills as well as those that they wish to develop.
This Skills Audit includes a consideration of skills that students might need for their chosen career.
Identifying training and development needs at this early stage puts students in the strongest possible position to progress effectively with their research.
