About this programme:

Higher education is increasingly concerned with preparing students for the workforce, with a new focus on integrating essential professional skills into undergraduate education. At the same time, an increase in attention on undergraduate research has drawn attention to pervasive skill gaps in this area.

Research as a Transferable Skill is an online course that focuses on the professional competencies required for those planning to pursue a career in research and related fields. It helps students enhance their long-term employability by developing a ‘researcher mindset’, and develops understanding of the transferable skills they will need for a successful career in research.

This course is for:

Undergraduate students in science, social science and humanities research fields, with courses for assisting supervisors.
