Have you ever considered doing a PhD, but have no idea where to
start? Or are you doing a PhD and starting to feel like you're
losing the plot?Each year the number of applicants to postgraduate
research and PhD programs increases, yet the information on how to
successfully navigate the journey remains obscure. This is where
this book comes in: I explore every aspect of doing a PhD.Doing a
PhD starts from the very the idea of wanting to do one itself. What
motivations work well and which don't when making it through the
PhD? The book also includes several chapters on applying to a PhD,
university selection, supervisor selection and document
preparation. We then move onto what goes on during the PhD, which
is where the majority of questions often arise. Questions around
workload, time management, mental health, social comparison, (peer)
pressure, supervisor (mis)communications, all the way up to
publishing, teaching, networking, conference attendance, presenting
work and preparing for the next step are addressed. And yes, the
next step matters: are you planning to continue to work in
academia, or not? The book addresses both career pathways, staying
in or leaving academia, equally. There has been increased pushback
against the idea that those with a PhD should automatically remain
in academia, especially as the academic job market has become
increasingly saturated. There has been an increased interest in
transitioning from academia to industry, but again, the information
on how to properly approach this remains scattered. This book aims
to take a (prospective) PhD student by the hand and outline the
entire process, answering every question they could possibly have
along the way.
