What comes after the PhD? Whether you’re aiming for academia, industry, entrepreneurship, or something entirely different, taking time to think strategically about your next steps can make all the difference.
Our upcoming
Careers Fortnight is designed specifically for Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) who want to explore their options, build confidence, and develop practical skills for life after the PhD. Through a series of interactive webinars, you’ll gain insights into career planning, employability, and the diverse pathways open to research graduates.
The programme includes:
-
Career and Professional Development Planning – 17 March
-
Applying for Jobs: Applications and CVs – 19 March
-
The Employable PhD – 24 March
-
The Entrepreneurial PhD – 25 March
-
Freelancing and Self-Employment – 30 March

Identifying Skills and Strengths – 31 March
Each session will help you reflect on your experiences, recognise the value of your research skills, and translate your expertise into compelling career narratives. Whether you’re polishing your CV, considering starting your own venture, or simply beginning to explore what’s possible, these webinars will equip you with practical tools and fresh perspectives.
Your PhD is about far more than a thesis — it’s a powerful foundation for a wide range of careers.
