Doing a PhD is a big commitment - intellectually, personally and financially.
However, if you want to establish yourself as an expert in your field and you want the chance to dedicate time to in-depth research in an area that you're passionate about, it can be a rewarding experience.
This event gives you the chance to consider why you might want to do a PhD, gives a realistic view of what is involved in undertaking a PhD and consider whether it could be an option for you. Please note, the event does NOT talk in detail about the process of applying for a PhD.
This webinar can count towards our Postgraduate Professional Development Award.
