Here’s why a strong academic profile is your greatest career asset.

What to build for the future. It’s all the things to showcase a range of skills, talents and commitments that beyond the classroom make for a good colleague, mentor and overall academic professional in the future. Whether it be a desire for Scholarships to help finance postgraduate research, or admission to the world’s leading postgraduate schools or grants from various institutions, it’s vital to have evidence of skills, talents, knowledge and commitments to a professional academic career.

This includes research capability, innovation, leadership and professionalism.

Your academic profile is a record of your development as a researcher and displays evidence of your research, publications, conference papers, relevant skills, research projects, academic affiliations and associations.

The Profile You Build Should Offer Value. Building the academic profile of today and tomorrow begins in the classroom with the student identifying how they can enhance their existing learning experience with research experience. Through a variety of pathways, student researchers engage with a range of institutions. The research projects are conducted individually or with colleagues or in partnership with a staff member, providing opportunities to develop academic skills and expand on what has already been learned within the class context.

Research Develops critical thinking skills. Many university subjects, due to curriculum design and assessment methods, often promote passive learning, focusing on memorization and reproduction rather than original thought and critical analysis. For example, a teacher may require their students to “report on the role of enzymes in…”, and although the students may research and report on these topics in detail, it can often involve only describing the facts and without critically examining them or developing new understandings, rather than having to construct an argument about the particular role of specific enzymes in biological processes. Learning the skills of academic research encourages students to develop critical analysis by exploring, discovering and applying their own findings in both their written and oral presentations.

Your Publications Enhance Your Reputation. If an academic’s career aspirations include contributing to their particular field of academic endeavour they will be aiming to disseminate the findings from their research work through the appropriate academic publication channels. Publishing research, in both journals, conferences, or books, contributes knowledge to the field, and it helps to increase your academic standing within your peers.

It means that your findings become part of a collective pool of knowledge.

Research that is publishable often represents the best, most original thinking from an individual researcher and therefore serves to increase your academic reputation and that of your institution. Publishing also strengthens communication, improve scientific writing ability, bolster confidence, and often increases opportunities for scientific collaboration and even international recognition.

An Expanded Academic Network is a Vital Tool. For any researchers and academics, professional networks serve as one of the most important resources to leverage and build a career. A good professional network consists of many connections across many different disciplines and institutions.

A range of resources like the numerous academic conferences that are regularly held around the world help to facilitate connections with various peers, professionals, mentors and future employers in one’s particular area of interest or expertise.

Connections to mentors or those with a higher level of experience can also help to provide guidance and advice that is essential for career progression.
