Personal and professional development forpostgraduate researchers at UWE Bristol
At UWE Bristol we are committed to supporting the development
of postgraduate researchers throughout their research degree
programmes, from admission through to final examination. The
nature of undertaking a higher degree by research has changed in
recent years; there is now greater emphasis on the development
of personal and professional skills as part of a research degree as
well as the production of a thesis. As a result Research Councils UK
(RCUK) set out a range of skills and abilities that they would expect
all postgraduate researchers to develop during their research
programmes, not just to improve their success, but also to enhance
their employability, regardless of their career path. These skills and
abilities were first set out in the RCUK Joint Statement on Skills
(2001).
More recently, a comprehensive Researcher Development
Framework (RDF) has been published by Vitae, a national
organisation that promotes researcher development, describing
the knowledge, behaviours and attributes of effective and highly
skilled researchers appropriate for a wide range of careers.
In recognition of the broader range of skills and abilities that need
to be developed, UWE postgraduate researchers gain a minimum
of 60 credits related to personal and professional development.
The Graduate School provides skills development workshops,
from 2012, the module Research in Contemporary Context (RCC)
and a residential course that, together with discipline-specific
modules students may choose in Faculties, are designed to ensure
that all areas of the RDF are addressed. The skills development
programme, the RCC module and the residential course are
available across the whole University with the focus on the
transferable and/or generic elements to support the subject specific
provision within Faculties.
Research in Contemporary Context module
This module is a research-based learning module in which
you will collate evidence of professional and personal aspects
of your development in action. There are six workshops to
initiate engagement with key aspects of development and you
are required to complete a portfolio and a case study to gain
30 credits at M level. You will elect six topics from the skills
development workshops in the assessment, allowing you to gain
credit for workshops of your choice. A module booklet with full
details can be downloaded from our website:
www.uwe.ac.uk/graduateschool

Complementary modules
In the early stages of a research degree programme, postgraduate
researchers must register their projects (using the form RD1).
An integral part of this process is the training needs analysis
undertaken with the supervisory team that will set out how the
minimum credit requirement may be met. Postgraduate researchers
can opt for modules to complement the RCC module or meet
the requirement using any relevant modules offered across
UWE. In general, research methods and/or advanced subject-
specific modules are taken to complement skills development. If
postgraduate researchers have, for example, a Masters it is possible
to use UWEs Accredited Learning framework if previous modules
can be mapped to the RDF.
Graduate School residential course
We are pleased to be able to announce the return of the popular
summer residential course at Buckland Hall in the Brecon Beacons.
This intensive four day course affords you the opportunity to take
time out from your research to reflect on your skills development,
consider next steps and to get to know fellow postgraduate
researchers from across the University, dates will be announced
when they are confirmed.
A virtual classroom for remote accessto workshops
The Graduate School uses IOCOM Visimeet (an advanced video
conferencing tool) to enable us to create a virtual classroom. We
will broadcast all the skills workshops that physically take place
in room 4D24 so that anyone with an internet connection and a
webcam can remotely and interactively take part in workshops.
Please visit go.uwe.ac.uk/visimeetfor further details of the
technology and to sign up for an account.
IT training in software packages
Human Resources offer training for all staff at UWE in the
Microsoft Office suite of software (version 2010). Sessions on two
of the most popular packages, Managing Long Documents in
Microsoft Word and Using Microsoft Excel for Processing Data are
listed in this brochure. You also have free access to any of the IT
training that Human Resources offer which includes courses aimed
at the beginner through to more advanced levels. Please refer

NVivo: software for qualitative data analysis
This software package for computer-assisted qualitative data
analysis is widely used at UWE Bristol and an institutional licence
for its use is held. We commission a consultant to facilitate
sessions on its use based on need. The aim of these sessions is to
provide you with an overview of the potential of the software and
an idea of its long-term usage, whilst also providing a grounding
in the basic tools and tasks which are most often used in a real
project. Three sessions have been commissioned for 2015/16;
details can be found within this brochure.

The Researcher Development Framework (RDF) is a tool for planning,
promoting and supporting the personal, professional and career
development of researchers in higher education. It describes the
knowledge, skills, behaviours and personal qualities of researchers and
encourages them to aspire to excellence through achieving higher levels
of development. It details, for different stages of researchers careers, the
competencies that they might aspire to.
The RDF was created from empirical data, collected through interviewing
researchers, to identify the characteristics of excellent researchers
expressed in the RDF as descriptors. The descriptors are structured infour domains and twelve sub-domains, encompassing the knowledge,
intellectual abilities, techniques and professional standards to do research,
as well as the personal qualities, knowledge and skills to work with others
and ensure the wider impact of research. Each of the 63 descriptors
contain between three to five phases, representing distinct stages of
development or level of performance within that descriptor.
The RDF provides a comprehensive underpinning for a professional
development tool that Vitae have developed for researchers to audit their
own skills, knowledge, attributes and behaviours against those set out in
the RDF. More information on the background to the RDF and the tools
available please see:

The Digital Researcher
Social media is booming. You can now find user-generated content
in just about every sphere of life: politics, music, history, you
name it and it can be found. What about academic research? Are
the critics right to sneer at social media as a trivial, time wasting
activity, or could there be a real benefit to the researchers who do
engage with social media tools? This hands-on interactive
15
workshop is a chance to explore the use of social media tools as a
way of improving your practice in an academic research context.
Friday 5 February 2016, 09:30 16:30
The Art and Science of Communication
Its easy to quantify someone with a great proficiency in athletics,
performance or industry. What we grade is the difference in levels
of skill, application and result. Applying the same logic to how we
communicate might not seem useful given that it is something
that we have all done since the day we were born. But this course
argues that communication is a reflex rather than a learned skill; aresponse to the environment in which you find yourself, and one
that is impossible to stop. If our argument is valid, it would be
better to harness and exploit that reflex consciously.
This is a two-day course designed to provide an environment
in which you will practise shaping communication in order to
disseminate your work in a variety of settings, whether traditional
or incidental. Topics explored such as impact, involvement
and engagement will help you build your confidence through
experimentation, discussion and feedback.
This course aims to prove that there is much to be gained by
learning to control levels of skill, aptitude and application that will
mean conscious communication can result in being quantified as
compelling.

Getting Published, Strategies for SuccessfulResearchers
This workshop explores how to go about getting your research
published: who you should be writing for, which journals to target and
understanding the importance of complying with author guidelines
and publication ethics. We will also look at the impact of open access
publishing on how research is carried out and published.

Data Management Best Practice
Good data management is a fundamental part of good research
practice. If research data are well organised, documented,
preserved and accessible, and their accuracy and validity is
controlled, the result is high quality data, and efficient and cost
effective research. Added benefits include the potential to share
and re-use data for future research activities. This workshop will
help you to assess your own data management activities, and give
some starting points for caring for your data.

Future Directions
Researchers acquire a broad set of skills and competencies
as a consequence of the projects or work they undertake.
Understanding these competencies and being able to describe
them is the challenge that many of us face especially when
seeking employment. This workshop has been designed to help
you understand the value of skills and provide opportunities for
researchers to consider the future directions that they could take.
