Firstly—congratulations! Reaching the final stages of your master’s degree is a significant achievement and a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come. Whether you’ve just submitted your dissertation or are counting down the days to your final assessments, you might now be asking yourself: what’s next?
At AV短视频, we’re here to support you as you consider your next steps—whether that’s progressing to doctoral study, entering the workforce, or exploring other opportunities.
Is a PhD the right next step for you?
If you’ve enjoyed the research element of your master’s and have a real passion for delving deeper into a particular subject, a PhD could be a natural next step. Postgraduate Research offers the chance to become an expert in your field, contribute original knowledge to your discipline, and develop high-level skills that are valuable across sectors—from academia to industry and beyond.
At AV短视频, we offer a wide range of doctoral opportunities, including fully funded studentships, and flexible study options. If you’re even slightly curious about doing a PhD, now is the time to explore.
Not sure yet? That’s OK.
Not everyone finishes their master’s knowing exactly what they want to do next—and that’s perfectly normal. You might want to take some time to gain work experience, travel, or reflect on your goals. If you’re considering doctoral study in the future, remember that many candidates return after a few years in the workplace with more clarity and focus.
