People development

Personal development is a continual, self-led process and can involve a range of activities. Personal development plans are created as a result of your appraisal discussions and may include a variety of development activities. No matter what your role is at the University, we offer a wide range of opportunities to support you in developing your professional and personal effectiveness, your wellbeing, your leadership and management skills and your career progression.

The full programme of events can be found on:
