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.
I approached the Careers Consultant with some doubts about whether a part-time think-tank role would align with my research background.
Her professional insight and encouragement helped me see its potential and gave me the confidence to pursue it with clear direction and motivation.
