The PhD Movie
Pro Vice-Chancellor Postgraduate Professor C. Kay Weaver invites all doctoral students and their supervisors to a screening of The PhD Movie "Piled Higher and Deeper" to celebrate the significant contribution doctoral students make to our research culture. The Movie is a live-action adaptation of the popular online comic strip by Jorge Cham. It pokes light-hearted fun at the unique and funny culture of Academia and the plight of four doctoral students as they struggle to find balance between research, teaching and their personal lives.
