As winter deepens, many of us stand at a crossroads: after graduation, should we stay abroad to study or work, or return home to build our careers? Enter the job market, or pursue another PhD?

In this roundtable, we will bring together doctoral students and scholars from Oxford, Manchester, and beyond to discuss openly the “stay or return” dilemma. We will explore career opportunities, quality of life, and how international education shapes our sense of identity and belonging.

Whether you are still uncertain, already decided but seeking perspective, or want a thoughtful space to reflect—
GPEDU is here, walking with you as you map out your next steps.
