Beyond the PhD - A Career Resource for Arts and Humanities PhD Researchers

Beyond the PhD is a website which provides the opportunity to listen in on the experiences of a range of different people from different backgrounds, ages and stages of life who have been through the PhD in an arts and humanities discipline and made the transition into a variety of work beyond it. The site has audio and video clips and articles relevant to development for early career researchers.

Beyond the PhD has been developed by Shauna Concannon, Julia Horn, Jessica March, Finbar Mulholland, Catherine Reynolds and Rachel Stewart at the Centre for Career Management Skills (CCMS) a HEFCE funded Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at the University of Reading. Others closely involved in the development of this site include: Glued, the CCMS postgraduate Group, Cindy Becker, Janet Metcalfe at Vitae, Jo Moyle and Sally Pawlik. The development of the web site was contributed to through surveys, focus groups and user-testing by postgraduate researchers at the University of Reading and the University of Sussex.
