The difference between a Masters degree and a doctorate programme is the same as going from a challenging but basically manageable walk in the mountains with friends to a solo climb in the Himalayas. The doctorate experience is fundamentally a lone journey into the unknown, where the comforting and familiar landscape of previous academic work is left behind, and it becomes a journey of exploration and discovery, both of the subject being studied but also of the personal qualities that are required to face up to, engage with and ultimately overcome those challenges.
This webinar, a collaboration between Dublin City University Department of Graduate Studies and the Institute of Strategic Risk Management, will explore these issues from a variety of academic perspectives, using models of strategic risk, decision-making and uncertainty to model the doctorate experience, and bring insights to anyone either considering or already involved in doctorate studies.
The session will be run by Dr David Rubens, Executive Director of the Institute of Strategic Risk Management, widely recognised as a leading pracademic authority in the field of strategic risk management, bridging the academic and practitioner worlds.
The session will be moderated by Professor Sharon O’Brien, DCU Dean of Graduate Studies.
