Student stories

Students from across Welsh institutions have shared their ‘stories’ about their experiences as postgraduate researchers. Some of these stories discuss the challenges students have faced throughout their doctoral journey, and how they maintain their wellbeing during this time. They offer advice and tips and are a good reminder that you are not alone. If you would like to share your own doctoral story get in touch via rachael.thomas3@southwales.ac.uk
