Panel debate: Career opportunities after the PhD
The Graduate School now offers a panel debate for PhD students and PhD supervisors at The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
The panel debate focuses on strengthening PhD students’ ability to plan their next career steps and supporting supervisors in guiding them through this transition.
We start off with a presentation by Christian Kjær Monsson from Danish Industry providing a short analytical overview of the transitions after the PhD. The panel debate provides short presentations from industry representatives, public employers, and former PhD students as well as opportunities to ask questions. Topics include career planning, navigating the shift from academia to industry, and understanding what employers value when recruiting.
The debate is followed by advice from the Head of Graduate School on what to do during the PhD in order to plan and make the transition smoother, as well as advice from the career counsellors on building an effective CV and opportunities for individual guidance.
