In 2002, Professor Gareth Roberts' report SET for Success was published on the supply of people for science, technology engineering and mathematics careers in the UK. The significance of the report now extends to all research subject areas including Arts and Humanities. One of Roberts' recommendations was to significantly expand the opportunities for transferable skills training within research degree programmes. Subsequent government funding has led to a dramatic increase in training provision in UK Higher Education Institutions. It provides this comprehensive coverage through three main sections. Whether you are a practitioner at the forefront of research training, a supervisor looking for ideas, or a policy maker looking for a holistic overview, this book caters for you.
