Graduate Skills Development Programme

By now, everyone should have received the Graduate Centre's Skills Development Programme for Research Students April-July 2005. The school would like to encourage doctoral students to attend courses on the programme and has asked the Cafe to advertise these.

Students are increasingly expected to keep a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) log across their candidature. To get a picture of who has done what, the Graduate Centre will provide SOCSI (and other schools) with an end of year printout which will be used in the Annual Review. The school will use these data to identify those candidates who are not using the courses sufficiently. Consequently, students are expected to up-skill themselves and participate and supervisors have been asked to include this in their next supervision agenda.

Extra copies of booklet can be obtained from Liz Renton, Research and Graduate Office, Room 0.16.
