Dr. App app for iPhone and iPad

8 hours of professionally produced videos to support and develop doctoral students and their supervisors, made by Angel Productions in partnerships with leading UK universities. The videos have been reconfigured and indexed to serve as a unique reference resource, accessible any time, anywhere. Dr.App covers everything from working with supervisors and preparing for the viva examination to coping with stress and mental health challenges, from research impact to networking skills.

We have restructured 14 half hour videos into short segments, grouped by theme and indexed for easy navigation. And we plan to add new segments frequently.

Even if you’re already familiar with some of the video contents, Dr.App turns the video series into a more powerful, more portable, more interactive tool for learning and support. The app invites feedback from users, which will be valuable for institutions designing their researcher support, and will enable the producers to develop more content in direct response to users’ needs.

The videos will play on all smartphones and tablets and any web browser on a computer, with video compressed to run smoothly using wifi or mobile data connections.

Universities can buy access to the full contents for an affordable licence fee each academic year, the price depending on the number of research students and staff you need user accounts for – or save even more by buying 3 year licences. Customised content for each university buying licences can be included if required.
