Get the most out of your student journey with SkillsForge
At SkillsForge, we know that the knowledge and experience gained from a successful postgraduate research (PGR) programme benefits the student, the institution and wider society. We also know how difficult it can be for institutions to effectively monitor supervision, progression and provide support for every research student on their individual journeys.
That’s where we come in.
Our postgraduate progression and supervision solutions help institutions to get the best out of their students throughout their entire journey, from admissions to examinations. Our streamlined, tailored processes possess a fully-integrated course booking system and skills framework, with configurable forms and workflows that can integrate with your existing student records and HR systems.
