When you have finished your four-year PhD study you may continue research at the university or look to the many companies that open their doors to a PhD graduate. You will have proven that you can work to a very high standard and have specific knowledge that can be of great value to a company or institute.

Former PhD graduates have also been hired later as (often part-time) professors to strengthen the link between university and industry research and to bring their industrial experience back into the university education and research.
