Finding your path into research can be daunting, let alone knowing what's involved once you're there. How do you find a research supervisor?
What's the difference between Masters and Honours?
Great, I'm here; Now how do I survive?
Research student Annie McDonald asks the questions she wish she knew the answer to before starting her Higher Degree by Research (HDR).
'HDR what' is demystifying what it's like to be a research student. From vollies through to PhDs, Annie collates experiences of science students from all stages of their candidature, throwing in some tips 'n' giggles to boot.
Episode 5: Bonus episode! "If you wanna get into Med School, you've gotta put in the hours." Has Annie made research sound easy peasy? Well, that wouldn't be balanced would it? Recording outside the hospital where Kieran Hanna is now training to be a medical doctor, he takes us through the intense honours year that got him there. He also gives us excellent advice on what to look for if you're thinking of pursuing research at a different University.
