COURSE DESCRIPTION
Making the leap from a PhD to the workforce can be challenging, and that’s where the Specialist Certificate in Research Practice for Scientists comes in.
The Specialist Certificate allows you to undertake a paid internship with a company or organisation relevant to your PhD research, gaining practical experience, enhancing your soft skills and building networks.
The Specialist Certificate is taken over 3–6 months after submission of your thesis, so the internship can be your main focus.
Enhance your employability
The real-life experience will be an important addition to your CV but, just as importantly, it’ll give you the chance to connect with other people in your field.
You’ll also gain some perspective when it comes to career planning and professional development considerations, and prospective employer expectations.
