Thinking about doing a PhD
You're trying to decide whether to take the plunge and do a PhD. Perhaps you've done well, enjoyed the research you've been involved in so far, and now think you'd like to do more. Your department or honours supervisor could be encouraging you to follow up a promising line of enquiry. Maybe you think having a PhD will increase your career options or secure a promotion. It may be a necessary requirement in your work. Or perhaps now you have the opportunity to pursue something you've always been interested in or you're ready to take up a new challenge.
