Research ethics and governance

Applicable to University of Kent only


The Researcher Development Programme is for all postgraduate research students. This includes full-time and part-time students and those studying a Master's, MPhil or PhD.


We believe that skills training is an essential element of any PhD or research career and an important aspect of career progression for all researchers. Our RDP has been developed to deliver these skills, and in response to national policy. 


Following Sir Gareth Roberts’ review of higher education in 2001, the UK research councils (RCUK) issued a joint skills statement to all universities, identifying seven areas in which UK doctoral and early career researchers should develop further skills while pursuing their research. This statement became the Researcher Development Framework (RDF). 


All of our training falls under the four headings of the RDF: 



  • Knowledge and intellectual abilities 

  • Personal effectiveness 



  • Research governance and organisation 

  • Engagement, influence and impact
