Beyond Academia Podcast

Presented by enterprise specialist and serial entrepreneur Peter Harrington, this podcast covers a range of topics designed to help research students move their careers forward.

Beyond Academia is a must-listen series for the adventurous research student.

Our very first SPRING podcast, presented by Peter Harrington and published by LSE, examines how students can commercialise their research, find funding, seek out partners, create new ventures and much more. 

This 9-part series includes interviews with individuals who have either explored the non-academic route or have hired PhD students and graduates. They talk with great insight and clarity about their experiences and offer tips on how to achieve a successful and satisfying transition beyond academia.
