Careers in Consulting for Researchers
The ability to utilise research skills – critical thinking, project management, communication – mean that consulting careers are rewarding and engaging for many researchers moving beyond academia.

In addition, consultants are sought from a broad range of disciplines and backgrounds. Whether it’s social enterprises or finance, technology or research, having impact in an area that interests you is possible through a career in consulting.

This panel session will feature PhD holders who are now working in consultancy across a range of sectors.
