Training opportunities

There are a wide range of resources, support, training, activities and events available to you across the University to help you meet your development needs across all four domains of Vitae's Researcher Development Framework. This page will help you find them. This page also signposts to training opportunities provided by Colleges, Schools, Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) and Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs).
