Transferable skills
All research students are required to acquire "transferable" skills as part of their training, and must spend at least 10 days per year in such activities. An account of students' skills training must be presented at transfer and confirmation of status.
Information on transferable skills training is available through the University Skills Portal.
This is a website created for all research students, postdoctoral researchers and their supervisors at Oxford. It brings together a range of information about transferable skills development and has details of skills training courses, seminars and workshops offered throughout the University in a searchable database. There are links to online resources and tips on subjects such as project management and teaching skills. It also gives advice on getting the most from your time at Oxford and putting yourself in the best possible position to succeed in your career, whatever it might be. The Skills Portal Forum is the place to ask questions, discuss issues with other researchers and make your views known to the people who organise the training.
