RDP offers you a wide variety of workshops, courses and events that help you in becoming a professional researcher. In order to provide you with some guidance on what to engage with, the RDP have developed the Cambridge Researcher Development Framework (CamRDF). Personal Development Planning is the formal process of reflecting upon your learning, performance and achievements, as well as planning your personal, educational and career development: in short, considering the career path you would like to pursue and the skills and actions you need to achieve it. To assist you in this aim, as part of the compulsory elements carried out by all students during their first year, you should complete the Researcher Development "Getting Started" Module, which has been designed as a starting point for your researcher development.
An impartial, knowledgeable and dedicated service that helps students maximise their employability during their studies - whether in academia, industry or beyond, helping you make the most of study experience at Cambridge.
The Centre supports the teaching and learning of languages throughout the University. More specifically, The Language Centre CULP programme provides a range of courses in 18 languages for students and staff of the University.
University Information Service
The Chemistry Department relies upon the excellent selection of computing courses provided by the central University Information Service. These can also be booked through UTBS however, you need to be really quick to sign up as places are limited and are taken up very quickly. There are also a selection of self-taught courses where you can either download the course material or access via Moodle depending on the course. Check UTBS for more information. Course materials can be downloaded here.
