Part time responsibilities: How to juggle work, life & research

If doing a PhD wasn't tough enough, you've chosen to do it around other commitments. It maybe that your research is about your career or role; or it could be that life commitments make it impossible to take 3-4 years to focus on your research entirely. It could be that you've decided to take a couple of years part time and return to full time in a few years time ( this is how one of our RD Team completed her PhD)

Whatever your reason/s a part time PhD is a juggle and spinning plates. Keeping everything working, looking after yourself and other commitments and keeping up with your research life requires priority setting, time management and clear time away from your research to make breakthroughs. Work with your other part time colleagues to discuss best practice, realistic and workable ideas and how to maintain your wellbeing!

Essential.
