About this title

Review:

"Readers will value this text for its breadth of vision and its crystallisation of the issues. In particular all doctoral supervisors will be better placed to answer the question which is increasingly asked by students: 'What does a PhD tell the world about me?'" - Higher Education "This is a 'factual' book...interesting and informative, and acts as a resource for further debate on the issues surrounding the PhD." - Educational Review.
