“Even though it sounds like a daunting task (and sometimes it actually feels so), doing a PhD is an extremely liberating activity; especially if you’re coming straight out of a taught degree. It puts the skills you’ve learnt so far into practice, with an added layer of responsibility, so that by the end of it you can more or less fly on your own, research-wise.”
