One of the University's priorities is to attract, retain and develop excellent staff as the achievement of the University's Mission depends on the performance and contribution of all staff. Staff development plays a significant role in attracting, developing and retaining excellent staff.

PDP provides opportunities to undertake particular projects such as external research and visiting appointments that contribute to an individual's professional development and the achievement of the University's strategic goals.
