There are many Ph.D. programs from various funding agencies that provide excellent starts to a scientific career. Multinational Ph.D. positions attract students because they provide students with much-required exposure to the international scientific community at an early stage of the career. For this reason, multinational Ph.D. positions can be considered as a better career opportunity over Ph.D. positions confined to a single country. In addition, these multidisciplinary research programs connect different organizations to deal with the problems of global interest. One of these multi-disciplinary research programs is the viral and bacterial adhesion network training-innovative training network (ViBrANT). ViBrANT is a multifaceted platform that develops the required skillsets in young researchers and thereby also contributes to building a multidisciplinary research community. Is this the only parameter to be considered or are there other factors that can also stimulate one’s career development? In this perspective article, I will discuss the key reasons why I chose a multinational Ph.D. program along with the merits of being part of ViBrANT. I also discuss the challenges I faced while moving from India to the United Kingdom.

良好的职业开端可以打开大门：国际研究生计划的优缺点-学生的观点。

有很多博士学位 来自各种资助机构的计划，这些计划为科学事业提供了良好的开端。跨国博士 职位之所以吸引学生，是因为它们为学生在职业生涯的早期阶段就向国际科学界提供了极为必要的机会。因此，跨国博士 与博士学位相比，职位被认为是更好的职业机会。职位仅限于一个国家。此外，这些多学科研究计划将不同组织联系起来，以解决全球关注的问题。这些多学科研究计划之一是病毒和细菌粘附网络培训-创新培训网络（ViBrANT）。ViBrANT是一个多方面的平台，可培养年轻研究人员所需的技能，从而也有助于建立一个多学科的研究社区。这是唯一要考虑的参数，还是有其他因素可以刺激一个人的职业发展？在这篇观点文章中，我将讨论我选择跨国博士学位的关键原因。计划以及加入ViBrANT的优点。我还将讨论我从印度搬到英国时所面临的挑战。
