(2) Presenting Conference Papers

Candidates are highly encouraged to attend and present papers at
conferences. Attending a conference provides candidates the opportunity
to meet and confer with people in their area of research. Candidates get to
foster relationships and build links with academicians and fellow
candidates from other institutions around the world. If candidates are
presenting a paper they will also obtain invaluable feedback that will help
them to further improve their work.

Candidates are advised to consult with their supervisors on conferences
which are relevant to their field of research. Candidates can also do a web
search to find the most useful conferences relevant to their research. It is
advisable that candidates stay focused and not waste precious time and
resources on conferences which are not related to their area of research.
Funding for conferences may vary across faculties and candidates are
advised to make enquiries early in their period of candidature.
