Introduction to doctoral career pathways

With over 150 different development offerings available, it can be difficult to know where to start. To help you navigate your way toward your career aspirations, we have curated two doctoral development pathways – suggestions for how to plan and structure the development of knowledge and skills that will be key in building careers in academia, industry, entrepreneurship or serving the public good

Heading along the right development pathway for you can bring clarity, purpose, and focus to your personal and professional development.

For each of these pathways, we have curated a set of recommended development opportunities for you to opt into at each stage of your doctoral journey.

You don't need to formally register for your chosen pathway. As you go along, just sign up for the latest development offerings that relate to each career pathway.

You can also apply to take part in the various flagship programmes which anchor the pathways, and are advertised annually.
