Summary

Postgraduate students require a variety of skills in addition to the specialist knowledge of their area of research, including organisation, time management, preparation and presentation of a seminar, and writing a thesis and a research paper._ This new title provides PhD and MSc students with advice on key issues relating to the organisation and presentation of their research. Helps students to deal with an increasingly competitive marketplace after completing their studies. Clearly written and illustrated by professional lecturers. Covers the skills that the Research Councils expect students to develop during their doctoral training.--Provided by publisher
