Learn about applying for a PhD, how PhD funding works and what doing a PhD actually means. You’ll also hear about the wide range of careers available to PhD graduates. Our panelists will also discuss the challenges that students with different backgrounds face in applying for and carrying out a PhD.
There will be ample opportunity to ask questions.
