¡Hola, Mariana! When I first saw your channel I thought you were Brazilian, like me 🤣 I have a really basic question: phd students at Cambridge still attend classes? How does it work in general?
I’m not entirely sure. In my PhD program I don’t need to attend lessons, but I can do it if I wanted to (just to listen and learn a bit more). For example, while I was doing my research I joined 1st year of maths course (bachelors in natural sciences) during two months to remember a couple of concepts. I wasn’t a official student of that course but I just wanted to take notes 📝
