As the year draws to a close, we reflect on the strengths, opportunities, gains and losses of the year. This reflection also sets the stage for the expectations and plans for the coming year.
PhD 360 was launched in the latter part of this year with a mission to support international graduate students. Our focus is to help international researchers navigate their journeys, overcome challenges, and create fulfilling academic experiences.
Here’s what’s new at PhD 360 as we wrap up 2024:
