Working for a Doctorate [PDF ebook] 
A Guide for the Humanities and Social Sciences

In stark contrast to undergraduates, new Ph D 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 Ph D students
* Contains case studies of current and ex-Ph D students
* Explores issues such as gender, culture and the fundamental nature of the Ph D.
The book will be a vital guide and companion to anyone studying, supervising or contemplating a doctoral degree in the humanities or social sciences.
