Description

Since the first edition of this innovative book, thousands of doctoral students have gained their doctorates by following the spot-on advice it gives. Across all faculties and disciplines, it remains the book of choice for both students and their supervisors, establishing it as a worldwide bestseller. This practical book guides students through all they need to know to approach the research, write and defend their ideas and ultimately produce a unique and robust academic thesis. It also gives supervisors and examiners invaluable tips on their role in the process. With vignettes from doctoral candidates, the book demonstrates how problems can be approached and overcome. Thoroughly updated to include new technologies and different forms of doctorate, new content includes coverage on: studying for a professional doctorate; the specifics of writing your PhD Equal opportunities for non-traditional students and for students from minority groups; and a self-evaluation questionnaire on doctoral supervisory practice (to complement the existing questionnaire on student progress). "How to Get a PhD" is the essential handbook for doctoral students!show more
