Hi, I’m Seun, a postgraduate research student at the University of Birmingham.
In preparation for my studies, I had a lot to do and a wealth of information to digest. Fortunately, the welcome and induction activities on the PGR intranet page greatly eased my transition into academic life and directed me to the relevant teams for any questions or support I needed.
When I began my research journey, one of the key questions I had was about my career options with a PhD. Consulting with a PGR -specific careers adviser helped me understand the wide range of post-PGR career options. They also assisted me in narrowing down my choices based on my skills as a researcher.
