Research & Professional Development Plan
Welcome to Postgraduate Research Studies at AIT
Research and Professional Development Planning (RPDP) is a process by which you can manage the development, advancement and completion of your research through a process of structured planning and reflection.
Your RPDP is designed to guide you effectively through your Master’s and PhD research programmes. Progression from the Master’s programme to the PhD programme requires a transfer assessment after 12-18 months. The RPDP will form part of the transfer assessment process. Your supervisor is available to assist and guide you throughout your programme and will work with you on your RPDP. Additional support is also available from your School, Research Institute manager, the Office of Research and the Office of the Registrar.
AIT is continually investing in the development and fostering of a vibrant research culture. We are committed to providing the perfect learning environment to enable you to fulfill your ambitions. We wish you the very best with your graduate studies and look forward to forging a bright, exciting future with you.
