"We've already purchased The Good Presentation video and The
Good Viva video to add to our on-line training offer to research
students. The Good Doctorate video is a welcome addition to the
series. I like the 'problems' followed by 'solutions' format of
the video. I will be using in face-to-face teaching to prompt
discussions."
- Dr Heather Sears, Graduate Training and
Support Centre, University of Leeds
"The Good Doctorate video provides an excellent insight into the
daily reality of undertaking a PhD. We have shown it to hundreds
of incoming research students to bring to life what they have
ahead of them. The video provides realistic and useful advice,
and has complemented our own induction program really well."
- Dr Liz Tynan,
Graduate Research School,
James Cook University, Australia

The Good Doctorate Video -
how to complete it on time
The Good Doctorate Video addresses one of the most intractable issues for
institutions: improving the qualification rate of their doctoral
programmes. This video in our series
for doctoral students was made in cooperation with Birkbeck, University of London.

The video will help doctoral students manage their time and
complete their thesis on schedule (and will help their supervisors to
support them in this).
The Good
Doctorate Video includes:
- Planning towards a distant deadline
- How ‘life’ can get in the way
- Being realistic about the time and cost
- Setting intermediate stages
- Working with your supervisor
Ensuring timely completion of doctorates has never been more
urgent for institutions.
Based on specially scripted drama scenarios and interviews with
experienced academics and PhD students, The Good Doctorate Video was
produced with advice from Professor John Wakeford, Director of the
Missenden Centre for the Development of Higher Education.
