Description
This handbook should provide a realistic understanding of the processes of doing research for a doctorate. It discusses such issues as time management, and how to overcome the difficulties of communicating with supervisors, and considers the particular problems of groups such as women, part-time and overseas students. The book also provides practical insights for supervisors and assists senior academic administrators by examining the responsibilities that universities have for providing an adequate overall service for research students.
