"... First I got my Bachelor’s and I knew a little bit about everything.

Then I got my Master’s and specialized in a single field.

Now I am doing a Ph.D. and I learn more and more about less and less until I know everything about nothing..."

"Piled Higher and Deeper" The Movie is a live-action adaptation of the popular online comic strip by Jorge Cham. The film introduces audiences to the unique and funny culture of Academia and follows four graduate students (Cecilia, Mike, Tajel and the “Nameless Grad Student”) as they struggle to find balance between research, teaching and their personal lives with humor and heart.

We look forward to your participation!

Yours sincerely,

The NUS Committee for ‘The PhD Movie’
