PhD Survival Guide

As a companion to my ‘Interested in a NT PhD?’ page, I thought I would also do a how-to guide for PhD studies in NT. Now, instead of reinventing the wheel, I figured that many of the posts I have already done are quite relevant. So, below you will find links to many of my blog posts, but here they will be organized in a more useful way. NKG
