jobs.ac.uk are holding a free Google Hangout to help you decide if a PhD is right for you - discover your future, without leaving your sofa!

Whether it’s to achieve something significant, become an expert in your area or discover something new, studying for a PhD is a highly rewarding experience. However, it’s also a decision you have to take very seriously as it involves a commitment to at least three years of study and completion of a thesis.

It may be necessary to submit a research proposal to a supervisor in a university department in which you wish to study or you may find a specific research project advertised as a studentship with funding attached.

So how do you know if a PhD is right for you?

To help all those who are considering undertaking a PhD, jobs.ac.uk is holding a free 60-minute live video event via a Google+ Hangout called ‘Postgraduate Options – Is a PhD for me?’.
