On Being A Successful Postgraduate Student
– The University of British Columbia
7 Keys to Success
1. Be proactive – take responsibility of your own
postgraduate experience.
- Think about what you really want from your postgraduate time
and period.
- Attend conferences
Important !
Research Ethics and Scholarly Integrity
- Remember that you still have relatives and friends outside your
postgraduate faculty.
- Get enough sleeps, make time for physical exercise, eat well.
I don’t see the only goal is to get the MSc or PhD, or training
in research, or making an original contribution in respected
field.
I value the journey of discovering, exploring and inhabiting
new spaces. If it hasn’t been a critically important journey
for you, then you haven’t got much more than a piece of
paper saying you have a MSc or PhD.
