Choosing which development opportunities are best for you
Often people choose a course because of its title or because they think it sounds like an interesting topic. However, this may not be suitable for you or your development.
The Researcher Development Framework (RDF) is a professional development tool, developed by Vitae, to help researchers at all stages of their careers to understand the knowledge, attributes and skills required to succeed as a professional researcher in Higher Education or beyond. Empirical data, collected from interviews with researchers, underpins the RDF, and it therefore offers a real insight into what professional researchers and academics believe is needed to progress in a research career.
The Humanities Faculty Researcher Development Team uses the RDF to design the development opportunities on offer each academic year. We would also encourage you to use the RDF to determine which of those opportunities are most appropriate for you at different points in your research career.
