PGR Students: Interested in a career in Academia?

The Warwick Graduate School and Student Careers and Skills will be running a series of three, one day-long events for postgraduate research students exploring the realities of a career in academia. Each day will be tailored to a specific faculty, hosting a number of sessions and panels to explore the issues and challenges working in Higher Education.

Sessions include a focus on teaching, research and governance as well as a look at the alternative non-academic career route of working within university administration. Colleagues from both academic and administrative departments will be on hand all day as well as leading the sessions and presentations. The day will conclude with a panel discussion and Q&A. Lunch will be provided for registered participants.
