Are you thinking of moving to a distant country to do your doctorate, or have you already done so? Does it feel like it's all new and even though you've prepared so much, there's still a lot to do?

Then join PhD students/early career researchers in Pharmaceutical Sciences - Thi Ngoc Lan Vu, Andrea Cabrera and Shara Natalia Sosa Cabrera - as they discuss some of the challenges they faced as international students and share their best tips on how to overcome them. They talk about the difficulties they foresaw, and some they did not, before moving from far away countries to Vienna, Austria. They share their insights, successes, failures and some useful tips for other international students who are planning to study abroad or who are already doing so. Listen to them to hear how they adapted to these challenges, both seen and unforeseen!
