Some
weeks ago, it was my pleasure, and honour, to be invited to participate as a
panellist in the online event Explore What a PhD is Like organised by PhD Social Support Network from Loughborough
University. The event
aimed to give undergraduate and postgraduate students a summary of Doctoral
Researchers’ lives and an idea of what it’s like to do a PhD at Loughborough
University.
With so much confusing and contradictory information out there, it becomes a bit difficult to have a good understanding of many things before embarking on doing a PhD. So I decided to write down my answers for those of you who could not attend the event and are interested in doing a PhD. Because we were four panellists, I just answered some questions, but in this post, I share my answers to all questions, which mainly depend on my personal circumstances and experiences at Loughborough University — And I do hope to help clear some things up. In case that you have any other questions, please let me know in the comment section.
