The Postgraduate Certificate in Research and Innovation Leadership is taught and awarded at FHEQ level 7 (i.e. Masters level) and is worth 60 credits. Certification is completed in one academic year. It enhances the career development and skills of the next generation of research leaders.

The programme builds on researchers’ primary training in developing original contributions to knowledge and the advancement of their specialist discipline. It equips researchers with the skills, knowledge and values necessary to meet wider intellectual, social and economic challenges and have significant impact on the world around them. Course delivery

Course content will be delivered and facilitated in a blended manner – i.e. a mix which includes synchronous face-to-face delivery, asynchronous delivery, self-directed learning and reading, assessment preparation and writing. Online content will be delivered through a dedicated Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) or through video-based remote meeting software platforms. Face-to-face sessions will be delivered by subject specialists in one of several available spaces in Cambridge, which is planned to include the flagship Postdoc Centre on the Eddington Site. Participants would be expected to make every effort to attend these elements of the programme.
