Anatomy of a PhD

That’s a wrap!

Finally, after 4.5 years I’ve finished my PhD. It has taken a little longer than I was hoping but I got there. The official recommended ‘structure’ at the University of Adelaide is:

First year: Research proposal
Second year: First draft of novel
Third year: Exegesis

After the end of the third year, hopefully you’re ready to submit your PhD (thesis) for examination by two exam
