Why I applied for this particular SPP role: I am applying for this SPP role to build on my previous experience, where I reviewed Integrity courses and contributed to comprehensive evaluations.

Why I think professional development training is important: Professional development training is crucial for equipping students with the skills needed to excel in research and teaching. My experience across various graduate school programmes highlights how these programs introduce innovative teaching methods and essential research tools. At Imperial, professional development courses are vital for mastering research software and other critical skills, empowering students to confidently advance in their academic and professional journeys.
