Want to get a real insight into what it’s like to do a PhD? Meet Katherine a second-year PhD student in the Department of Clinical Genetics at Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam. She moved from the Highlands of Scotland to the Netherlands to start her Life Science PhD.
We followed Katherine for 1 month earlier this year, you can watch back her vlogs here.

In this video, we check in with Katherine one year after her first vlog and hear about her Post PhD career plans after the final year of her programme comes to an end.

Follow Katherine’s vlog to find out more about the highs and lows of doing a scientific PhD and what life is like for a PhD student in the Netherlands.
