What's it really like to get a PhD? What impact does it have on you while you're pursuing it, and in the months and years that follow?

In our new video series, we'll be asking these questions to the people who know. Watch this space... #LifeAfterPHD

A big thank you to all of today's attendees, speakers and supporters! We had a terrific event with a group of extremely engaged potential postgraduate researchers, and the presentations were top drawer. Thanks so much everyone!

We kicked things off with a welcome presentation from the Faculty Director of Postgraduate Research followed by an overview of the PhD process and how to write a research proposal from the Director of the Postgraduate Researcher Experience Team.

Today we are excited to be hosting the HSS PGR Opportunities Showcase, highlighting the resources and support available to PhD students in the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences at the University of Liverpool. Might some of today's attendees be our doctoral candidates of the future?
