Is the PhD system broken?

The critiques of the PhD system often focus on lack of funding and lack of jobs. Those are real issues but are only part of the story.

In this live session, we'll look at why so many PhD students struggle, for reasons that may not be entirely due to their own intelligence, ability or even hard work.
We’ll explore:
- why capable, motivated PhD students so often get stuck
- how the apprenticeship model commonly breaks down
- how research literacy is actually learned

As ever, we’ll leave space for discussion and questions at the end, including reviewing and providing feedback on your research using FastTrack publishing systems.

👉If you’d like your question considered during the live Q&A, you can submit it here: https://forms.gle/gp9cceQfWrXXWcXb6

See you Friday,
Prof Stuckler
