Nese Tosun, currently pursuing a PhD in the Theatre Department at Warwick, talks about her experience at the university. The reason for her choosing to pursue a PhD is her interest in teaching at university level. Nese has had many opportunities to teach and present her work in conferences during the programme. At PhD level students must manage on their own for the most part, but do have access to the university’s resources and support services if required. Nese says the PhD at Warwick has given her the confidence to succeed in life.
