Prepare for the career you want

I have been really lucky to have very supportive advisors, who encourage me to travel, attend conferences and learn by experience outside the office.

"UQ has offered me the best education to prepare me for what I want to do. I believe that undertaking my PhD at UQ will give me the passport to work overseas in Research and Development (R&D).

"I have been really lucky to have very supportive advisors, who encourage me to travel, attend conferences and learn by experience outside the office. In my PhD I have been given first-hand experience in R&D work. I work directly with researchers who are developing degradable agricultural film for our industry partner - Integrated Packaging. It is both very challenging and rewarding, turning ideas into practice – it’s a feeling that you cannot get from anything else."

Sherri now works at 3M Australia.
