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.

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!

Listen to two PGR alumni who used our services during their time at Nottingham
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!
Dr Victoria Richard talks about how she used our services during her PhD studies. She feels that the workshops and one-to-one appointments helped her secure her first job at The Royal Society of Chemistry.
