Hey! My name is Alex. I am an academic author and historian based at a leading European research institute. I gained my PhD from the University of St Andrews in 2009 in just over three years without any student debt and had my first research position by the time I completed my thesis.

In order to help students better navigate this process I have written a short eBook and am developing a course that helps break down the PhD process based on my own experience, strategies, and learning of how best to achieve this goal. If you would like further information, please see:

Please share this with anyone you think might find this useful and I would love to get feedback from you on whether you think developing this kind of course would be of value to you and what kind of things you would like me to cover. Many thanks!

Alex
