Begin Again

If you could start your PhD over would you?

  • If you could start over, what would you keep the same?
  • What would you change?
  • What other options would you consider?
  • What kind of an impact would changes make?
  • And how much of what you would change – or keep the same – are you only able to see with hindsight?

You can’t begin again – but considering this kind of thought exercise can be helpful to unpack your experience, your growth and the development of your research before your viva.
