Mahasiswa yang ingin melanjutkan pengajian pada peringkat PhD atau Doktor Falsafah memerlukan komitmen yang tinggi dan perancangan awal dari segala segi sama ada sebelum atau semasa pengajian untuk memastikan berjaya menamatkannya mengikut tempoh masa yang ditetapkan. Ini kerana, seperti yang diketahui perjalanan pengajian PhD adalah agak sukar dan mencabar sehingga ramai mahasiswa yang masih berdaftar mempunyai niat untuk berhenti. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti aktiviti kritikal sebelum dan semasa pengajian PhD di kalangan staf akademik universiti. Dengan mengedarkan satu set borang soal selidik secara atas talian, tinjauan telah dilakukan ke atas staf akademik di Universiti Utara Malaysia yang telah berjaya menamatkan pengajian PhD. Seramai 95 responden telah menjawab dan digunakan untuk tujuan analisis statistik. Kesemua data di analisis dengan menggunakan perisian Statistical Package for Social Sciences 22.0 (SPSS) yang mana melibatkan kaedah statistik seperti ujian kebolehpercayaan dan ujian deskriptif. Hasil dapatan analisis deskriptif menunjukkan bahawa persediaan sumber kewangan merupakan aktiviti paling kritikal sebelum pengajian PhD sementara aktiviti kritikal semasa pengajian ialah pengurusan diri mahasiswa. Oleh itu, hasil dapatan kajian ini dapat memberi panduan persiapan kepada mahasiswa yang ingin melanjutkan pengajian di peringkat PhD sehingga akhirnya berjaya menamatkan pengajian dalam tempoh yang ditetapkan.
