DPhil Students
Supporting your progression through your doctorate and giving you the skills needed to succeed in your future career.
The DPhil is a period of professional research training during which you will develop advanced specialist skills and knowledge, as well as broader transferable skills to equip you for a range of careers. You will have lots of opportunities to develop skills and expertise in your everyday work in your research group and department. The MPLS divisional training and development programme aims to complement these.
What training do I need?
It’s important to think about the kind of skills and experience you will need to develop in order to carry out your research and successfully complete your DPhil.
