Careers Support
We take our responsibility to help students progress听their听career path very seriously and further to the below list of career related support initiatives for students,听we regularly communicate career related events, workshops and opportunities to students.
Institute Careers Advice Surgery
The IEHC Careers Advice Surgery is an opportunity for PhD students to obtain advice about career development in an informal and confidential setting from two senior academic staff.听
The aim is to create an environment in which we can try and shed light on some of the more opaque aspects of scientific careers, and also to utilise the wide range of experience people across the Institute have accumulated.
PhD students听from across the Institute are invited to book one of two 30 minutes appointments, which will take place each month.听
Faculty听of Population Health Sciences听Careers Afternoon
Our Faculty runs an annual careers afternoon which aims听to introduce students from across the Faculty of Population Health Sciences to different career routes, and听skills, qualifications and personal qualities needed to succeed in them.
A typical event involves a panel of internal and external speakers听which reflect the diversity of options available to students. A previous years panel included speakers from听KMPG, Public Health England, Doctors of the World, Save the Children and AbbVie Pharmaceuticals.
