Procrastination. Perfectionism. Overcommitting. Losing motivation.

The Effective PhD Candidate is a unique program offered at Flinders University that deals with the generally neglected psychological and emotional side of completing a PhD.

It is often said that completing a PhD is 90% persistence and 10% intelligence. So how do you persist and overcome painful obstacles that make doing a PhD much harder than it needs to be? We have drawn on our extensive experience and research in psychology and education to develop an innovative curriculum and set of resources that helps deal with these obstacles.
