Across the five sessions, we will explore how to:

• Map PhD career pathways across different sectors and professional contexts.

The workshops will combine reflection, practical activities, and tools that you can apply directly to your own career development.

Whether you are considering a career in academia, industry, the public sector, or non-profit organizations, or are still exploring your options, this series offers an opportunity to step back, reflect on your professional goals, and explore the different paths your PhD can open up.
