Working for a Doctorate

In stark contrast to undergraduates, new PhD students often find no framework for study, few deadlines and little peer support.

Working for a Doctorate:

* Addresses the problems of the research process, such as finance and time-management

* Offers practical guidance and specialist advice to both students and their supervisors

* Is written by a team of experts who have had a long and successful experience of tutoring PhD students

* Contains case studies of current and ex-PhD students

* Explores issues such as gender, culture and the fundamental nature of the PhD.

The book will be a vital guide and companion to anyone studying, supervising or contemplating a doctoral degree in the humanities or social sciences.
