Would you like to learn a new language? Or do work that makes a difference in society? Research might be the right path for you.

In this episode we meet two UQ researchers, Dr Carolyn Jacobs and Katarzyna Hourigan, who completed their PhD degrees in the area of mechanical and chemical engineering respectively.

Carolyn completed her PhD in a ‘cotutelle’ program, which was a dual enrolment at The University of Queensland and École Centrale Paris as part of UQ’s Centre for Hypersonics.

Katarzyna completed her undergraduate studies in Poland, followed by a Master’s Degree in Denmark, before finally landing in Australia to complete a PhD in nanotechnology at The University of Queensland.

Who knew a career in academia could take you around the world!
