Phd Survival Video, The

Synopsis: This resource aims to help doctoral students cope with the pressure of the challenges involved in studying for a PhD: challenges which can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety and an inadequacy. Through drama scenes and interviews with doctoral candidates, supervisors and counsellors, THE PHD SURVIVAL VIDEO discusses how the stress and pressure of a PhD can be made manageable. The DVD offers practical advice for dealing with common problems and surviving, including: self-help strategies for doctoral students; what they should and should not expect from supervisors when they are struggling; the support they should find in their institutions to help them get through.

The PhD Survival Video was produced in partnership with Professor John Wakeford, Director of the Missenden Centre for the Development of Higher Education, as part of Angel Production’s series for doctoral students.
