Career Planning

As a research student at Nottingham University Business School, you will have access to our specialist in-house Postgraduate Careers Service to help you develop your career management skills and explore your career options.

Offering access to individual careers consultations, skill development events, guest lectures, and an online careers resource area, the Postgraduate Careers Service can support you in planning a career within academia or industry. The University's Graduate School also offers career management sessions for research students.

Many of our research degree graduates have pursued academic careers (approximately 80%), nationally and internationally. However, others have moved into a variety of sectors including consultancy, risk management, the public sector, and self employment.

The Business School actively recruits from its own PhD programme. Fifteen of our current staff are graduates of the programme, including Professor Graeme Currie, Professor Michael Humphreys, Professor Mike Wright and Professor Andy Lockett, all hold senior positions within the school.

Immigration is a complex issue so at Nottingham we arrange annual immigration talks from experts to help international students understand the latest regulations in relation to working in the UK.
