Are you one of the 100s of students in universities up and down the UK who are just embarking on a PhD? Are you you one of the many who have gone straight from a taught course and thrown into a research-based project at the deep end?
It’s still commonplace in the UK to expect students to miraculously just know what getting a PhD entails? There is precious little support within universities for the practical matters – supervisors are interested in the academic minutiae, but little else.
One book should be at the top of your reading list:
How to get a PhD: a handbook for students and their supervisors by Estelle Morris (Available from Amazon).
It’s full of fantastic advice on what it really takes to get your PhD – what you need to do, and to deliver. There isn’t a better overview available anywhere.
We can also help point you in the right direction. For example, if you don’t know what a literature review is, or how to write one, we can help!
