I condensed twenty, 20-min interviews into a 10-min video that explains what a PhD is really like to do! I asked about workloads, social life, best parts vs worst, challenges and whether they might do it again.

Hopefully this video can be useful to anyone interested in doing a PhD, or just generally who's curious about what the heck a PhD really is!!

The guest (stars) do (or did) a big range of PhD subjects: Maths, Physics, Engineering, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Neuroscience, Psychology, English, and Classics (in no particular order) ;)

If you have any particular questions about doing a PhD, or how you get into one, feel free to drop me a message and I'll do my best to get back to you :)
