As a group of people at the top of the ivory tower, doctoral students, especially overseas PhDs, often symbolize wisdom and erudition. Here is an analysis of what it is like to study for a PhD in Australia.

The group of doctoral students bear the heavy burden of innovation and development of the country and even mankind, and they are the talents that all countries and enterprises compete for.

In addition, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to study for a Ph.D., and people who are engaged in ordinary jobs in daily life have relatively few opportunities to come into contact with Ph.D.s. Therefore, Ph.D.s often have their own aura and sense of mystery.

The group of doctoral students studying abroad is also very rare among the vast number of international students. Is it really so unattainable and mysterious to study abroad for a Ph.D.? Love and interest are the reasons why bloggers say "there are always books that can't be finished and things that can't be finished"

"Documentation" It takes as little as three or four years to as many as seven or eight years to complete a doctoral degree in China. It also takes an average of four years overseas. The determination, perseverance and concentration required during this period are indescribable.

What attracts doctoral students to continue on this academic path? Some people study for Ph.D.s because they temporarily avoid looking for a job, and some people pursue the academic aura of a Ph.D., but more people study for Ph.D.s because of their passion for scientific research.

Passion, out of interest in the research field and the desire to be exposed to the latest scientific research trends and results in this field.

Chen Zibin and his wife, who is also a Ph.D. The main content of a doctor’s work is to explore areas that have not been touched by previous people. This attribute determines the particularity of his learning style.

If there are specific class hours and academic tasks to be completed during the undergraduate and postgraduate periods, the doctoral stage requires all self-motivation and drive.

Tutors rarely specify what to do, but at most provide guidance on the general direction of research. Most of the time, they rely on their own understanding of the subject to discover flaws and deficiencies, propose new ideas, and conduct new exploration and improvement.

Doctoral study is inseparable from reading a large amount of literature. According to a doctoral supervisor: "You must read all the literature you can find in related fields, because you don't know which sentence can inspire innovation." Therefore, reading

A PhD may mean that there will always be endless books and documents to read.

If it is not truly out of love for the research field, it will be difficult to settle down to engage in learning and research, and it will also be difficult to endure the hard life of research.

Therefore, interest and love for what you learn are the best boosters on the road to PhD study.

PhD life also means experiencing difficult working conditions.

Professor Yuan Longping once said: "Books and computers cannot grow rice, and he will not train students who do not go to the fields." Through Professor Yuan's words, it can be seen that many scientific research results come from laboratories, sky, oceans, farmland, barren mountains, ice and snow.

?Sometimes scientific research does not only mean reading a large amount of literature and learning existing theoretical knowledge. It is more important to be on the front line of scientific research experiments and explore new discoveries.

"On the road to doctoral study, you must learn to calm down and do things that may be boring to others. In addition, if you want to happily complete the doctoral road, the inner driving force should be for the subject.

Love it." Chen Zibin told the "Study Abroad" reporter.

Read literature, write papers, conduct experiments, write code, participate in academic conferences, and work as a teaching assistant. Learning at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels is mainly based on basic subject learning, focusing on the input of theoretical knowledge. However, at the doctoral level, the research field has become more specialized and narrow, and it is necessary to fully study theoretical knowledge.

based on innovation and development.

The chosen direction is closely related to future career and development. When choosing a research direction, personal interests, future development of the subject, and the contribution and authority of the research group tutor in the field should be fully considered.

Some people say that the beginning of a doctoral career is equivalent to starting a career in advance.

Not only because PhDs are paid in many countries, but also because the resume of a PhD career is extremely valuable.

In addition to reading literature, writing papers, doing experiments, and writing code, the life of a doctor sometimes also requires attending academic exchange summits.

The high visibility and authority of the research group and tutor in related fields may provide them with more opportunities and resources.

“People who participate in such summits are top scholars and experts in the industry. Listening to their research reports and discussing academic issues with them means grasping the latest scientific research results and trends in the research field, which is valuable for broadening research ideas and finding scientific research innovations.

It goes without saying," Chen Zibin told the "Study Abroad" reporter.

In addition, participating in academic summits is also a good opportunity to showcase yourself. You can fully demonstrate your personal style and scientific research capabilities through wonderful academic speeches. If you can impress experts and scholars in the field, it will also be of great benefit to future development.

In addition to doing research topics in their own research fields, the doctoral stage also has the opportunity to work on projects with mentors. These projects are generally application projects connected with enterprises, which are helpful to the doctor's applied scientific research ability, and can also provide research projects and doctors.

Bring economic benefits to students.

However, there are some projects that are not closely related to one's own scientific research theme, and will relatively divert time and energy from one's own scientific research.
