| DESCRIPTION | The Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy degree) is the highest academic degree that the University of Malta can bestow on its students. It is awarded after a period of systematic and structured research and the successful completion of a thesis and a viva-voce examination. A Ph.D. project has the goal of developing you into an independent researcher capable of improving knowledge in a given field and producing results of the highest quality. The journey leading to the award of a Ph.D. degree is a challenging and meaningful experience. Knowing about the rules, regulations, procedures, milestones, and what is expected of you during this journey should make the journey less daunting than often anticipated. Outcomes: By the end of this workshop, the doctoral researcher should be: - able to reflect on the demands of a doctoral research degree; - aware of the University’s administrative and support structures concerning doctoral research; - aware of the relevant regulations, procedures, deadlines, and expectations; - cognisant of ethical considerations; - cognisant of the programme of professional development offered by the Doctoral School for doctoral researchers; - have shared experiences with a guest speaker about research applications. |
