Careers and employability
Whether you wish to pursue a career in academia, apply your doctoral learning in industry, or bring your researcher mindset to a whole new field, there’s career support available for you.
PGR careers
Your supervisors will be able to offer guidance on what path might be right for you and which areas of development you might wish to focus on. Remember, you can use the Development Needs Analysis tool on the PGR Dashboard to help you get a better overview. From your Dashboard homepage, select 'Development Needs Analysis' from the menu bar.
In addition to support from your supervisory team and your academic School, there are regular sessions as part of the Doctoral Education, Training and Development programme and specialised support from NTU Employability.
What is NTU Employability?
The NTU Employability team are here to support you throughout your doctoral study, to help you make the most of your skills and capabilities as a researcher.
In addition to workshops and seminars throughout the academic year as part of the DETD programme, you can also book a one to one appointment with a member of the team who specialises in supporting PGR.
The Doctoral Employability Resource
The Doctoral Employability Resource is a virtual tool designed to help support you in your professional development and career planning.
The Resource includes information on practical aspects such as application writing and CVs to advice on career options for PGR both within academia and beyond.
