Graduate Training Framework
Once you have been through the Training Needs Analysis to identify the training and learning required to develop the skills and experience you need, then the Graduate Training Framework can help you to plan this in more detail.
The Graduate Training Framework has been organised into a framework of phases and categories to guide you through the broad periods of your doctorate, and help you decide which skills you want / need to develop. The framework is intended to act as a guide and is not prescriptive.

Academic Skills
|
Academic Skills at these phases are delivered in your department and research groups. Speak to your supervisor, Director of Graduate Studies or Graduate secretary for more details.

Notes:
1. The phases are for guidance rather than rigid timescales.
2. The skills categories are defined as follows: Academic skills are lecture courses/ subjects that form an extension to, and fill gaps in, undergraduate knowledge; research skills are those needed to actually carry out research, for example safety, equipment use, programming; transferable career skills are those which are core to every student’s development and are genuinely transferable, although they may have a subject nuance.
3. Therefore Academic skills and Research skills sit in departments. Transferable career skills sit in both department and Division (and other providers as appropriate)
