How to Survive Your PhD

Übersicht

You need to be smart to begin a PhD – but you need to be resilient to finish one. Between one-quarter and one-third of all research students never complete their degree.

The PhD is an emotional journey as much as it is an intellectual one.

What kinds of emotions does the research degree process provoke? What strategies can help students deal with the emotional highs and lows?

How can academic advisors, family, and friends help research students cope with these stresses – and celebrate the successes?

This course is primarily designed for masters, PhD, and research students, as well as the academics who support them. However, family members or friends of a PhD student seeking to better understand what their loved one is going through will also find this course beneficial.

By directly addressing the emotional issues and helping us see the connections between emotional resilience and success, this course aims to foster a supportive academic environment where students can do their best research work.
