Symiah's story
I’ve used the career consultations a number of times to get advice and support moving forward. Accessible to everyone, they’re very informative and provide you with knowledge of how to progress, help you with PhD applications and provide you with guidance, which is particularly useful for learning all the unspoken rules. I would absolutely recommend them to others, especially if you’re unsure of how to progress.
