Window at Somerville College

With so many course types, topics, universities, and funding routes available, choosing the right path can feel overwhelming. This session will guide you through what you need to know to make informed decisions, develop research topics, navigate applications, and explore funding opportunities. We'll also look at things that you can do now to position yourself effectively for successful PhD applications. 

This event will be particularly useful if you are considering applying for PhD programmes and want a clear overview of your next steps, advice on how to choose the right programme or institution, and strategies for developing skills, experience and connections that will enhance your chances of success. 

This event is provided by Dr Abby Evans, Head of Careers Team at the University of Oxford Careers Service, and is part of a series on further study from the Careers Service.  Please check the term-planner for upcoming events. You can also find more advice on further study on the Careers Service website. After attending, you may want to book a one-to-one appointment with a Careers Adviser to discuss your plans or get feedback on your application.
