Occupational Therapy research encompasses diverse specializations, as reflected in our priority proposal areas and faculty expertise. We seek projects that enhance occupational therapy's evidence base for physical and mental health across all life stages, emphasizing clinical and cost efficiency. Throughout your PhD and for three years post-graduation at Brunel, you'll benefit from personalized career guidance. We urge students to begin career planning and personal development early in their research journey, particularly when uncertain about future paths. Our career services offer digital resources, individual advising, and numerous events. The Professional Development Center organizes an annual schedule of career-focused activities, including industry presentations, job fairs, employer meetups, and skill-building sessions. When opportunities arise, students may also gain valuable professional experience through paid teaching or learning support roles.
Career prospects
Personalized career assistance continues throughout your doctoral studies and extends three years beyond graduation at Brunel. We recommend proactive career planning and personal growth from your research's outset, particularly for those exploring options. Our comprehensive career support features online resources, private consultations, and diverse workshops. Annually, the Professional Development Center coordinates multiple career initiatives like sector overviews, hiring events, employer interactions, and competency sessions.
When possible, students can pursue compensated positions, as we value teaching and academic support roles for professional growth.
