After the thesis

You've submitted — congratulations. Here's where to look next.

A few practical steps

  • Turn thesis chapters into papers — use the Papers plan in your thesis planner.
  • Update your CV with skills, techniques and outputs from your project.
  • Thank your examiners and committee, and note them as contacts for references.
  • Check fellowship deadlines early; many early-career schemes open once a year.
