Once you have completed your doctorate, there are a number of career paths open to you, both within and outside academia. If you are not yet sure whether you want to work in a university, pursue a non-academic career in research or industry, or set up your own business, we are happy to help you prepare for future roles in science, business and society:

The Unit for Research Funding provides information, advice and support for externally funded research projects. In addition, BTU members have access to research funding activities such as publication support, application support for strategically important collaborative projects and ERC coaching.
