A PhD is challenging. Doing it in another language makes it more so. The ‘PhD in a second language’ series is designed to support you with many aspects of the process. We cover writing and speaking; reading and presenting. We discuss how we network and create connections. We also discuss the vagaries of undertaking research in the UK; the words that mean something entirely different and trip us up every time. The sessions are run by a Warwick PhD alumni and lecturer who still occasionally struggles to find the correct English word.
