The journey ahead

“I tell PhD but also MA students that they have a journey ahead of them, that I as supervisor can’t tell them exactly where it will go and where it will lead. In an MA programme, the parameters are more set, but the time duration can be somewhat extended. However, I can’t tell the student in advance whether he will complete the project in the set time. In a PhD thesis, this is even more important.”
