Example of work as a Ph.D. Student

A student decides she wants to pursue an academic career and applies to write a Ph.D. in her field.

In her first year, she gathers data for her dissertation while also contributing to her department by assisting with teaching, helping colleagues with their research, and writing research papers.

By the second year, she has written a section on the research method she employed.

However, her research isn't complete until halfway through the third year, at which point she focuses on completing her over 200-page dissertation.

She concludes her Ph.D. with a defense.
