Onwards

Some questions to consider as you approach your viva and your life after the PhD:

  • What are you taking away from your PhD experiences?
  • What are you leaving behind?
  • How have you changed?
  • How are you the same?
  • What’s the biggest difference you’ve made through your work?

And perhaps the most important question: what does all of this mean for your next big challenge?

Onwards

After your viva there’s more to do. Not your corrections, not wrapping things up, not admin. Your PhD is coming to a close…

…and the rest of your life is right there waiting for you.

You’re not the same. Your PhD means something. What might it mean for you?

A change of title? A mark of respect? New opportunities? More money? More responsibility?

While you’re doing your PhD, it could feel like the most important thing you’ll ever do. Afterwards, as you go on, you have to find something else. So what will it be?
