Careers

As well as outstanding project specific research training we also provide training in a broad range of transferable skills that are applicable to a wide choice of career paths. We run on-site bespoke career sessions for our students to discuss career development opportunities with a panel of alumni. The overwhelming majority of our PhD graduates embark upon a scientific career, mostly as post-doctoral scientists in academia, or as research scientists in industry or the healthcare sector. Recent graduates have joined research groups across the world including Australia, Switzerland and USA, as well as leading laboratories throughout the UK. Other graduates are currently taking further degrees in medicine and dentistry, working as clinical scientists in the UK National Health Service, training in patent law, or working in education.
