The doctorate is an emotional and academic journey, filled with dilemmas and obstacles that are normal for every student. I have offered a new perspective to help navigate and adjust to a new environment and culture of learning.
Drawing from my personal experience, alongside the stories of other students and graduates, I have illustrated possible solutions to the academic and emotional challenges faced by today’s PhD student.
Key features:
1. Reflections from contemporary PhD students and graduates.
2. Comprehensive table of contents including research, proposal writing, avoiding plagiarism, publishing, and preparing for the viva voce.
3. Accessible and practical approach to the common problems faced by todays doctoral students.
4. Conversational style for an easy-to-read experience, particularly useful for international students whose first language is not English.
5. Simplified coverage of the research journey in a logical step-by-step format from pre-application to the final Thesis Defence.
Essential reading for students and supervisors, ‘A Social Science Student’s Guide to Surviving Your PhD’ will also be of use to international students seeking to gain further insight into the application process and the demands of research degrees in the UK.
