Resources for Researcher and Career Development

You will find comprehensive information and support in these self-access resources. The topics mirror the MPLS Researcher Training programme.

Vitae is a national organisation who supports and promotes the professional development of researchers.

LinkedIn Learning, which is available through the University with your single sign-on. Many of the LinkedIn courses have been mapped to the Researcher Development Framework (RDF) in this document (LinkedIn Learning RDF Mapping).
