This video is so helpful.
There are points which are just common sense and I did wonder who makes these kind of mistakes, but clearly, someone has, otherwise they wouldn’t have been included.
The information is delivered in a light-hearted, easy to warm to style and I enjoyed the stories that are woven in, one or two of them made me laugh!
A must watch video for anyone going through the application process.

thank you Barbara, when I first begun dealing with increasing numbers of potential applicants I was surprised too by how many took the process very lightly with little reflection and consideration as to why they wanted to do a PhD, I am hoping this first video would deter some from making a terrible mistake and validate the thoughts of those who are truly serious about embarking on the doctorate adventure!
