| DESCRIPTION | The Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) degree is the highest academic award that the University of Malta can bestow on its students. It is conferred 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 is often anticipated. OUTCOMES By the end of this workshop, doctoral researchers should: - be able to reflect on the demands of a doctoral research degree - be aware of the University’s administrative and support structures concerning doctoral research - be aware of the relevant regulations, procedures, deadlines, and expectations - be cognisant of ethical considerations - be cognisant of the programme of professional development offered by the Doctoral School for doctoral researchers - sharing experiences about supervision |
