A Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD or Ph.D. or DPhil) or a Doctorate of Philosophy, from the Latin Doctor Philosophiae (for DPhil) or Philosophiae Doctor (for PhD or Ph.D.), is a type of doctorate awarded by universities in many countries.
The degree varies considerably according to the country, institution, and time period, from entry-level research degrees to higher doctorates. A person who attains a doctorate of philosophy is automatically awarded the academic title of doctor. During the studies that lead to the degree, the student is called doctoral student or PhD student, but also "doctoral candidate" at the appropriate stage.
In the context of academic degrees, the term philosophy does not refer solely to the field of philosophy, but is used in a broader sense in accordance with its original Greek meaning, which is "love of wisdom". In most of Europe, all fields (history, philosophy, social sciences, mathematics and natural philosophy/natural sciences) other than theology, law, and medicine (the so-called professional, vocational, or technical curriculum) were traditionally known as philosophy, and in Germany and elsewhere in Europe the basic faculty of liberal arts was known as the faculty of philosophy.

Plot: Esther Harris, a young woman praised for her virtue and devotion to Warren F. Vanderbilt's Prophetic Watchman Ministries, has been given the opportunity of a lifetime - to attend Vanderbilt's Kingdom Bible College and to marry Phillip Sawyer, the son of a minister and a Kingdom student being groomed for the ministry. When the fundamentalist Christian sect falls on hard times, Esther looks for employment at a local health food store to supplement the group's income. At the store, Esther gets a chance to share her faith with her new manager, Gabriel, a devout skeptic and preacher's kid, and his roommate, Mark, a college drop-out who finds Christian television to be great entertainment. Shot entirely on location in Southern Indiana and Austin, Texas, Paradise Recovered attempts a modern-day retelling of the parable of the Good Samaritan while addressing the important topics of faith, tolerance, and spiritual abuse in modern culture.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Traditionally all PhDs went on to become academic professors. Times have changed. This speaker offers an idea to help prepare graduate students for the real world. Nadia Jaber is a graduate student at Stony Brook University, pursuing a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology. Her thesis work focuses on how mammalian cells discard the chemical signals used to communicate with one another. During her graduate training, she realized she wanted something different than the traditional academic career path that PhDs are geared for. Exploring her interests, she found a passion in science and health communications and has since begun the Advanced Certificate in Health Communications offered by the Alan Alda C...
If you are thinking of doing a maths PhD then have a look at this video for some important advice from Leeds academics.
A fun look at a typical day in the life of a PhD student.
Blog: http://jameshaytonphd.com Book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0993174108 There is no shortage of PhD advice out there; how to be more organised, how to procrastinate less, how to sort your data and so on... And yet there is no shortage of stressed PhD students either. Is the advice flawed? Or are the students just not working hard enough? Neither; the problem is that the advice generally given consists of tactics, while most students are still trying to figure out the rules of the game. If you don't know how the system works or what you have to achieve, then being more organised or working harder simply won't work... you'll just end up going insane! In this talk, you will learn the fundamental principles every PhD student needs to know in order to succeed.
Professors talk about what they look for in PhD applicants, and what makes a successful PhD student.

Professor James Arvanitakis talks us through five important things to think about before you decide to start a PhD. 1. The first thing to do is find something you are really interested in researching, because you are going to be doing this for the next three years of your life. 2. Next, you'll need to find the right supervisors to support you in your PhD - their guidance and support is crucial to your success. 3. Thirdly, what is your long term plan and where do you want your PhD to take you in the future. Are you doing this for the right reasons? 4. The fourth thing is to consider the journey - this might be more important than the end point of finishing your thesis. What do you want to achieve along the way? 5. Finally, you need to work out if you are really prepared for the time and ef...
WATCH THE PHD MOVIE 2 NOW: http://phdmovie.com An excerpt from The PHD Movie 2. Cecilia tries to schedule her thesis defense, and finds that getting four professors to agree on a time and date is like herding cats (if the cats had Ph.D.'s). Nature Journal called the movie "astute, funny" and The New York Times claims, "Well, postdocs will find it funny". Watch the movie that perfectly captures life (or the lack thereof) in Academia. http://phdmovie.com Subscribe to PHD TV: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=phdcomics

He was so wrong letting you go
So afraid
You were a child again inside
And he sured had me fooled
Playing his games making you cry
One day his queen
Next day some broken shard of toy
No sharing of his dreams
I didn't know that your heart was breaking
I didn't know your love he was taking
I didn't know
No I didn't know
His love was a lie he broke your heart
Left you standing, making her alone
With no one near
To turn your grey skies blue
And oh, what a friend
I should have known
Telephoned you
Said that it's going to be ok
Got years ahead my friend
I didn't know that your heart was breaking
I didn't know your love he was taking
I didn't know, no I didn't know
Oh, playing his games making you cry
One day his queen
Next day some broken shard of toy
No sharing of his dreams
I didn't know that your heart was breaking
I didn't know your love he was taking
I didn't know
I just didn't know
