Assessing your skills

Regularly reflecting on the skills you have, and the skills you need is essential, regardless of at what stage of the PhD journey you are at.

Why should I reflect on my skills?

An important part of doing a postgraduate research degree is to spend time reflecting on your progress, skills and experiences and to plan your development, in relation to both your project and our career. One way to do this is through using a Development Needs Analysis (DNA)

A Development Needs Analysis (DNA) is a framework that enables postgraduate researchers to reflect in a holistic way on their research-specific training needs; their professional development needs; and their career ambitions.
