PhDs

Think outside the box. A PhD does not have to be the usual way of natural scientific research to address a new cure for cancer, even though this might be very interesting.

If you have a degree from a university, which as a doctor is a given, you can get a PhD in any other subject as well.

I once thought about a PhD in film philosophy and anthropology. My idea was to analyse the cultural differences of illness and disease perception or how it is defined and which role it plays in a cultural context by means of feature film.

I sent an email to a professor in this field and she liked this idea a lot. So it is definitely possible.

Think outside the box and try to get in touch with people.
