Careers advice

We offer lots of support whether you intend to develop your career within or outside of academia. Having the space and time to talk with an adviser gives you the opportunity to ask the questions that matter to you.

Read our blog: A very warm Careers welcome to our postgraduate researchers

Your feedback has been most useful, and it was just a great experience to have the opportunity to discuss this all with a person that has helped lots of others go through similar processes, so many thanks again!

Dr Carl Mundy talks about how the Careers team helped him achieve his career aim. He attended a range of workshops and now, on reflection, says he should have used us more!
