Produktbeschreibung

The leap between the undergrad and postgrad can sometimes come as a surprise, especially if you've been out of education for a while. Postgraduate study involves applying skills and knowledge in a more sophisticated and advanced way than was required during your degree.

Your Guide to Successful Postgraduate Study demystifies some of the expectations of post-grad study and outlines tools and strategies for developing skills that will improve your work throughout the whole of your post-graduate course.

This book advises you on how to:

• decide what to read, and how best to read it
• produce engaging outputs in writing or speaking that are convincing and engaging
• pursue academic arguments and show evidence of research/reading
• maximize your employability after graduation.

Get ahead of the game and equip yourself with the skills needed to supercharge your postgraduate work!
