Researcher Development Programme
The Researcher Development Programme provides a range of training and development opportunities for research staff and postgraduate research students at London Metropolitan University. Courses are available for all levels of experience from established and advanced researchers to new researchers. The courses are designed to support researchers in developing a full range of transferable professional, personal, research, and career skills and knowledge.
The Programme offers a range of courses in four domains:
- Knowledge and Intellectual Abilities – the knowledge, intellectual abilities and techniques needed to carry out research
- Personal Effectiveness – the personal qualities, and career and self-management skills needed to take ownership of and engage in professional development
- Research Governance and Organisation – the knowledge of the standards, requirements and professional conduct needed for the effective management of research
- Engagement, Influence and Impact – the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to engage with, influence and impact on the academic, social, cultural, economic and broader context
London Metropolitan University’s Researcher Development Programme is based on the Researcher Development Framework and Statement. This Framework is a progression of the Joint Skills Statement and supports the implementation of: the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers; the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education Code of Practice for Postgraduate Research Programmes; and the Roberts’ recommendations for researchers.
