About the programme
This programme supports doctoral candidates in communicating their research clearly, understanding its broader impact, and exploring the pathways from academic research to real-world application — whether the output is tangible or not. It's open to all disciplines, and no prior entrepreneurial experience is required. Learning is delivered through expert-led seminars, interactive workshops, and individual research-based activities in which you work on your own doctoral research.
Learning outcomes
- Communicate your research clearly, for audiences beyond your field.
- Understand the impact and commercialization pathways open to your work.
- Position your doctoral research beyond academia — towards real-world application.
