Have you ever thought about doing a PhD but don’t know where to start? Do you ever look at your lecturers & think “I would love to do that!”?

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!
