Training Plans for Research Students
The training plan is something that research students on PhD, MD, PsyD, and MPhil programmes should discuss and agree with their supervisory team. Your supervisors will want to ensure that your training plan fits in with your overall work plan and that any immediate training needs are addressed as soon as possible.
Your training plan will reflect your specific needs - no two research students have the same training plan. Your plan should reflect your skills needs over your research degree as well as your longer-term personal and professional development goals.
We would suggest that your initial training plan covers the period up to your probation review. Following the probation review you can prepare and agree an updated plan to cover the remaining period of the research degree programme.
