If a PhD seems mysterious, overwhelming, or just plain confusing, this is your chance to get the inside scoop from people who are living it right now. Join a one-hour live Q&A with current Mathematics PhD students from across the UK, who will share their insights about:
What day-to-day life as a PhD student is really like
Funding, supervision, workload, and work-life balance
The different pathways people have taken to start their PhD journey.
We'll be hosting the event on an unlisted YouTube livestream so after registering you only need a web browser to join. You can submit questions directly in the chat and we will have a team of professional moderators on hand to pass your questions to our panel of current UK maths PhD students. We will provide registered attendees with limited access to the event for a short time after the event has concluded.
This webinar is designed to help you take your first steps towards thinking about your own PhD journey, so you can explore whether pursuing a PhD is right for you!
What's the idea?
What's the idea?
PhD Your Way is an annual, online event aimed at people from underrepresented groups in mathematics who want to understand the "Whats, Whys and the Hows" of applying for a mathematics PhD. The event will start from the basics - so no prior knowledge required.
The event will feature informative talks alongside the opportunity to speak with current maths PhD students based at a variety of universities in the UK.
Information about how to apply for a maths PhD is often scattered across dozens of websites, or passed down through word of mouth. We want to break down that barrier for potential applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds and lived experiences.
