Making the Most of PhD Placements #vitaehangout
Watch the recording of #vitaehangout and read our Storify of tweets compiled during the event
Undertaking work experience outside your normal institutions’ research environment, even for a short time, can significantly broaden your career options following your doctorate. But what exactly does a work placement or internship involve, and how might it benefit you?
Our panellists will join our moderator to answer questions such as:
- What is a work placement or internship?
- Where can I go on a placement, and what will I do?
- What are the benefits of undertaking a placement?
- What are the challenges?
- How do I organise a placement?
- How should I prepare for my placement?
- How to make the most of my placement?
- What should I do next?
Panellists will take audience questions, so this is your opportunity to get expert advice on PhD placements from doctoral researchers who have completed placements as well as other higher education professionals.
The Google Hangout will be moderated by Dr Katie Wheat, Higher Education Senior Manager, Vitae
