Should I Do a Phd?
- Synopsis
- The video is based on case studies of PhD students from several institutions, working full time and part time across a wide range of disciplines, from arts, humanities and sciences. There is also expert commentary on the issues raised from Professor John Wakeford of the Missenden Centre, who specialises in advising research students. The video sheds light on the special satisfactions of doctoral study but also on challenges including: loneliness and isolation, PhD obsession, negotiating relationships with supervisors, dealing with unexpected outcomes; how life events can interrupt a doctoral project.
