Lecture Tuesday December 3rd, 16–18 o'clock, Building E1.3 Room 0.02.
Summary Pursuing a PhD can be daunting, scary, stressful, and otherwise tricky business. It's not like anything you've done it before, right? However, with a bit of preparation, a few tips and tricks, and a dash of luck, pursuing a PhD can also easily be the best thing ever. In this talk I aim to give you that preparation, and share the tips and tricks I know of. And hopefully also entertain. Doing a PhD is already serious enough, after all.

Course format

The course consists of a single lecture of two hours. There are no tutorial group meetings.

Target Audience

Are you a Bachelor or Master student and interested in doing a PhD, or, did you perhaps already just start your PhD? Then this lecture is for you.
