Thank you for the video. I am also going into computer science because of the logic. But I am currently to studying to work in the IT industry for experience and financial support ❤️
Thanks for the informative video! I myself am actually thinking of doing a PhD in philosophy; more specifically, in the philosophy of physics. However, I am having some trouble as I am trying to think of an interesting thesis topic within that sub branch that is both simultaneously a unique new area of research and I can also write between 75,000 - 100,000 words on 😬. I am honestly so worried at the moment about being able to achieve that 😞
Don't worry about the length, or a very specific question at this stage. Read some stuff on contemporary philosophy of physics, list the issues that jump out at you, read a bit more on them, and you'll soon have a good idea of a topic that interests you. Pick one. Then get in touch with some departments who could supervise (so, you're looking for places with good Phil. of physics: in the UK, Oxford and Bristol spring to mind). If a potential supervisor sounds interested, discuss your ideas with them. Once you're on the PhD program, you can always alter the topic. So the main thing is to find a topic that allows you to write a convincing application. So: demonstrate you know your literature, you know the main issues in your chosen topic, potential solutions to those issues, and so on.

Thanks! That sounds like a good plan, there's always more funding available in science/IT. Good luck!
This is the best video on choosing a PhD! Thank you!!
Thanks!
