The bar continues to be set ever higher to earn employment in the Danish life science industry; therefore, it is important to optimize your academic profile so it presents you and your skills in the best way. Some people choose to do this by researching a subject in-depth to obtain a PhD, while others go directly into the industry after completing their Master’s degree.

To shed some light on what the different choices can mean for your career, Synapse invites students and new graduates to an evening of discussing whether ‘to PhD or not to PhD’. There will be four professionals total, two with and two without a PhD, to share their experiences, speaking to why they made the choices they did and what they now look for when hiring. Additionally, there will be an industry HR manager speaking about the strengths and weaknesses of the different paths.

The evening will offer varying perspectives and options to help you along the way in deciding whether or not pursue a PhD.

Full program to be announced in week 5.
