Finding your career path

A doctoral degree represents a significant achievement that is recognised by employers who value the knowledge and skills developed during the course of studies. Job prospects for researchers are good, and a variety of positions exist both inside and outside of academia. 

The Careers and Employability Service can support you to understand your interests, motivations, strengths and skills, as well as supporting you to research the jobs market and make applications to roles within academia and industry.
