PhD timelines - PhD Talk

In this episode co-hosts Eva Lantsoght, civil engineering professor, and Rico Massa, PhD candidate in civil engineering, discuss the sometimes messy nature of the PhD timeline - from their own experience as compared to the "ideal" timeline. They also discuss additional requirements, as well as international differences.

Please note: this episode originally aired in 2020. Although the hosts may reference events of that time, its insights remain timeless and useful for today's PhD students.
