Some of us started on this course with a clear idea of the research field we wanted to go into, while others were open minded and ready to be inspired. Whoever we were, we all had to at some point chose a PhD supervisor and a project. A process which is not always the most straightforward and more often than not, quite stressful (we’ve all heard some horror stories!). But it should be exciting, and you should be able to make these decisions confidently, without wondering “did I make a mistake here?”.

They say hindsight is 20/20. So I had a chat with several students about their experiences of this process, and together we pieced out what we considered to be the best advice we wanted to give you this year.
