List of seminars for doctoral students

  1. The contents of a good PhD

  2. How NOT to get a PhD

  3. How to manage your supervisor

  4. Preparing for the Viva

  5. Doctoral student 'masterclasses'. These are private sessions with the student and the supervisor(s) where I comment on the structure and content of the student's thesis work in progress, which I have read beforehand.

  6. I am happy to be present at a public presentation by a student and to make comments along with others.

The sessions deal with issues raised in Estelle M. Phillips and Derek S. Pugh, How to Get a PhD (5th edn. Open University Press, 2010) and developments therefrom.
