Abstract

Obtaining a research doctorate in the humanities, arts, and social sciences (HASS) disciplines is crucial for an academic career. Graduating from a well-regarded university with a strong research culture and a reputable doctoral program is increasingly important for academic success. The institution you graduate from will impact your academic status and job prospects. It is essential to choose a programme aligned with your interests and with acknowledged strengths in your field, and timely completion of the doctorate is crucial. Part-time study poses challenges, and maintaining a work-life balance is complex, especially for women considering childbearing. Different doctoral program models have their own challenges, such as transitioning from coursework to the dissertation phase or dealing with isolation. Selecting the right institution, aligning research interests, timely completion, and finding a balance are key factors in pursuing a successful HASS doctorate.
