Our Postgradute Alumni 

"Doing a PhD strengthened my confidence, leadership, critical thinking, and communication abilities. Working with disabled adults, healthcare professionals, and community organizations helped me understand how research can address real-world challenges and improve health outcomes.”

“My Masters by Research gave me valuable experience in producing public-facing documents and communicating complex information to a variety of audiences. Whether I am writing funding bids, project reports, or impact evaluations, the ability to translate technical information into clear and compelling narratives remains one of the most important skills I gained from my research degree.”

"My PhD prepared me well for working in a sport development role with an inclusion focus. It was also pivotal in me securing a role with a remit on research, as my PhD really demonstrated my research skills and experience. Research skills are highly valued in a variety of industries.”

"I would encourage postgraduate researchers to recognise that a PhD develops far more than specialist knowledge in an area of research. It helps you build a wide range of transferable skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, attention to detail, communication skills, independence, and adaptability, all of which are valuable across academic and non-academic careers.”
