“The core material in Professor Cryer’s previous editions is classic. I welcome this new edition setting it into current contexts.” – PhD supervisor

“When I was doing my own PhD, Pat Cryer’s book was my constant reference companion. Now I am recommending her latest edition to my own students.” – PhD supervisor

Insightful, wide-ranging and accessible, this is an invaluable tool for postgraduate research students and for students at all levels working on research projects, irrespective of their field of study.

the QAA Code of Practice for Postgraduate Research Programmes
recommendations of the Roberts Review
the needs of the growing number of ‘overseas’ research students
employment issues (including undergraduate teaching)
the Internet as a resource for research.

There are new chapters on:

developing the research proposal
succeeding as an ‘overseas’ research student
ethics in research
personal development planning (PDP)
