Description The aim of this module is to enhance participant understanding of their current personal and professional competencies profile. The module aims to assist participants to work in a coherent and structured way to develop aspects of this profile over the course of the doctoral programme. This is facilitated by the provision of an on-line learning and development portfolio which enables structured goal setting and goal management. Core to the module is a focus on a series of generic competencies such as networking, emotional intelligence, communication styles, career review and goal setting which are often seen as peripheral to the doctoral educational experience but are recognised as being of significant importance to advancement in research, academia and beyond. The module is essentially skills and competencies based and will take the form of a series of workshops that have been designed to maximise active participation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
