Hi everyone!
I have almost finished my (Italian) Master's Degree in Organic Chemistry, and I'm considering the possibility to begin a PhD in UK... But I'm not sure if I want to become an academic, probably after that I will go find a job. I am looking around, and have found some possibilities for an Industrial PhD (where 90% of the work is done in industry, in this case a pharmaceutical one). I have a good cv, so I think (and hope to be right) to have good possibilites to win one of these, but maybe also to take a PhD in a good university in UK. While these industrial PhDs are connected with "average" universities.
My questions are:
Is it worth to begin an industrial PhD? Does it give more chances to find a job after it? How is it better or different to a "normal" PhD at university?
If you have any experience and/or advice, that would be really appreciated! I'm a bit lost at the moment...
Thank you in advance!
