Doing a PhD at Manchester Met: A Workshop for Aspiring Researchers and Lecturers

5th November 10:00 to 11:00
Come and join our existing PhD students and talk to lecturers who did their PhD at MMU, who are now enjoying successful academic careers.

This activity is offered as part of Week 6: Get Career Ready – an exciting set of activities, allowing students to engage in a dynamic experience. 

  

Have you ever thought about doing a PhD but don’t know where to start? Do you ever look at your lecturers and think “I would love to do that!”? If so, come and join this interactive workshop to find out more! Our aim is to give you some insight into what doing a PhD involves, the doctoral programme on offer at MMU, and the application/funding process. This will also be a friendly and informal opportunity for you to network with key members of staff involved, chat to some of our existing PhD students, and have a go at imagining what your own PhD study might be about! All current postgraduate and undergraduate students are very welcome.

Accessibility: We are committed to making this event as inclusive as possible. Find out more about the building and room on the Building Access Map.
