This month Vitae’s ‘Focus on theme’ is realising your potential.
‘Your doctorate is more than a research project, it is an invaluable opportunity to develop yourself professionally and progress in your career. Make sure you make the most of this time by thinking about, and planning for, what comes next!
Whether you are just starting out or already juggling many balls; browse our advice, guidance and tools to help you. This ‘focus on’ is designed to help you think through your career goals, and discover the myriad of ways in which you can realise your potential as a researcher.’
Find out more on this topic and a whole range of resources offered by Vitae on their website.
The Doctoral College RDP workshops up until June 2018 are available to book for PGRs via the myBU BU: Doctoral College Community. If you are a PGR and cannot view this community please let us know and we will add you.
If you have any questions regarding PGR development or the Researcher Development Programme please get in touch with Natalie or Clare (Research Skills and Development Officers) at pgrskillsdevelopment@bournemouth.ac.uk.
