The Careers & Employability Centre is based in the Library at the University of Sussex. They can help you to explore your career ideas and find out more about the pathways open to you both within and beyond academia. They offer practical career planning workshops for doctoral researchers and taught postgraduates to support you in your career progression, planning for your next steps, and making successful applications. They can also offer one to one appointments face to face or over the phone up to three years after graduation. All events and appointments are bookable through CareerHub.
