"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."

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.
Play an excerpt
here. The complete 30 minute programme is supplied on DVD
with full
screen broadcast quality video (suitable for uploading to your
intranet).
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.
The Good Doctorate Video is available for sale to universities,
colleges and other organisations. For a one-off payment, your
institution can be permanently licensed to make the video available to all your
registered students and staff in DVD format and to upload to your intranet
or other secure digital platform. To preview the full video or enquire
about licensing, please email enquiries@angelproductions.co.uk
